Hey growin, is this what I think it is? There was no tag in the pot. If it is what I think it is, I give you a lot of credit for working with these trees in any capacity.

It looks like it or one of the other species. Yep, prickly. I have to put labels on 2 flats of 2 1/2" pots today. Can you imagine climbing a ladder and trying to knock off the cones.

I'm quite angry Argentina pushed for the cultivated plants to be put in CITES 1 as I'm having a terrible time getting the paperwork for export. They needed document of origin. I told them, hey, I asked the lady at the house if I can collect cones, she said yes and I collected. Then I went for a Starbucks coffee a block away. What's so endangered about that! I'm right ticked-off with their "Endangered" stupidity. How am I to help with the production of this species from cultivated plants if they make it impossible to export?
