I don't know alot about plants but I do have a Norfolk pine. I have had it
for about 3 years. I heard that if you trim it not to go below the oldest
set of leafs.
For starting another tree you could do air layering. I never have done
this but I have a book that tells how. Air layering....Remove a ring of
bark 1 to 1.5 inches wide from the stem, about 18 inches below the tip.
Wrap moist sphagnum moss over the cut area. Then cover it with plastic to
retain moisture. When three or four roots are visible, cut off tip..
Romove plastic and pot plant. I hope this is somewhat helpful.
