Been watching your channel for years. Wonderful to see this new video today. Appreciate your warm energy and enthusiasm for the trees as much as the project itself. Thanks again for your work.
No, I have grown neither and am unlikely to. I think you can buy the heavily controlled Wollemai pipe for big bucks and I'm not sure about the Brazillian one. I tend to stick to NZ natives. It's a great story about the wollemai pine, I wonder if there is still an unknown Agathis in the bush somewhere?
Hi Max, I collected some cones off a tree and only got 4 viable seeds out of 6 cones. Do you think I picked them too early, it was Easter weekend. Or can they be hit and miss? In past years I would have got 100 good seeds out of that many cones from the same tree.
Interesting. Where abouts did you collect the cones? Most years seem pretty consistent when I’ve collected. I wonder if the constant rain of the last year could affect germination or some other cause? I always collect in the second week of March so your cones should be mature enough. Were they smaller than usual.?
Hi max, I collected 2 cones prematurely from Cathedral Cove walk yesterday. Will it be worthwhile planting them and will they grow?😅 might be a stupid question..I didn't do my research before I plucked them 🤦🏻♀️
I have 200 to put in the ground next winter thanks to your good videos!
Fantastic! I’ll be planting heaps too.

Cheers Bevan, its not hard to get excited
Kauri never fail to impress, thanks for sharing the five year journey - hope it inspires others!
Me too!!
My neighbour has a gigantic Kauri on her small section, it looks magnificent and is a landmark of the area.
It's great to see a large lone kauri, I notice alot of them. A group of kauri, now, is just magnificent
❤awesome!!! My partner and I just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. Just beautiful 😍
We will be planting tonnes of native trees thanks to your influence 😀
Fantastic. Now is the time to plant out!
Max can you please tell me when is the correct month to collect Kauri Cones. Your videos are sensational and a real inspiration. Thanks Ed.
I usually collect cones on the 2nd week of March but there are seasonal variations. I pick them before they start opening.
Love your channel are you planning on doing any pittosporums?
Yes. Ive been planning to for ages and hope to this year after winter
Hello, great video. Have you tried growing Wollemia Nobilis? Or araucaria angustifolia?
No, I have grown neither and am unlikely to. I think you can buy the heavily controlled Wollemai pipe for big bucks and I'm not sure about the Brazillian one. I tend to stick to NZ natives.
