Description en: Genus of 5 species of monoecious or dioecious, evergreen, coniferous trees and shrubs found in forests in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Tasmania (Australia), and New Zealand. They have 2 kinds of shoots: normal shoots that produce radial, reduced, scale-like, non-functioning leaves, and flattened, modified shoots that form leaf-like, photosynthesizing elements called "phylloclades", which resemble the leaves of celery. Female cones each bear one to several seeds within fleshy, cup-like arils, usually on the edges of the phylloclades. Male cones are catkin-like, borne in terminal groups. Celery pines are unusual specimen plants, and are attractive in spring with their colourful male cones. In frost-prone areas, grow half-hardy species in a cool greenhouse.

Hardiness en: Frost hardy to half hardy.

Cultivation en:

Propagation en: Sow seed at 6-12°C (43-54°F) in spring. Take semi-ripe cuttings in summer.
