Growing a welly

[jonnygurkha]

Well, I finally found the time to climb to the top of my local wellingtonia. First time I've climbed one and I must say the downwards sweeping branches were a challenge. Anyway, at the top I picked a green cone, brought it down, left it in the truck and forgot about it. In the warmth it has opened up and spilled seeds everywhere. Is it possible to propagate these and if so what is the best way? Thanks

Ev... ahem. Much of what you will need to know here.

Yes and now will be a good time because they get so big then can fail due to damping off. Whereas these longer daylight days shoul help.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try. Sounds like I may have to get up the tree to harvest some more seed!
