Cherry Ballart

Hi, does anyone know of a way to get more cherry ballarts (Exocarpos cupressiformis) to grow? We had a few on our property, still have two healthy ones but our largest one was killed off in the fires (a gum tree also squashed it), we use to have a few that came up from a cut in (assuming they came from the root system of an original one) but we use to have a goat that ripped them to shreds and of course they were no match for fires. Any suggestions?
Would love some more as i think they are gorgeous natives and the parrots love them.

Hi !

I think airlayering would be the best choice for you, besides growing from seeds and try to root cuttings.
