    These are the beautiful cones on this tree
    Lovely for Christmas if they would just keep their colour when pulled [​IMG]

    Beautiful whis, I have one of these but it is very young and only 2 ft high, I am looking forward to lovely cones like yours.
    How big is your tree, and do the cones lose their colour if you pick them?

    The tree is about 6 or 7 feet high or so
    Yes .. unfortunately they lose their colour .... maybe if they were sprayed or something?

    We had one of those in the garden of the bungalow where we used to live.It was at least 10ft high,so left it for the new owners to enjoy.They ripped it out. We have got another one but it is only about 2 ft high and isn't growing fast enough in this garden

    It has now bee given the space it deserves.
