I have a monkey puzzle tree cone 6 inches long 4 inches diameter it seems solid how do I get seeds from it or grow it.

welcome to GoY,
leave the cone to dry out and as it does the seeds will be released. pot them into a gritty compost and leave frost free to germinate, though this may take months.

I agree, but they grow VERY slowly, in 5 years or so, it will probably be about 6 or 7 inches high, so be prepared to be very patient, Derek.

Thanks for the information ,can I hurry the drying out period over a radiator I,m 81 so I may not have 7 years thanks again.

not directly on the radiator but a window sill above one should be ok. or an airing cupboard. pop the cone in a paper bag so any seed that falls doesn't get lost. Not plastic though as the seed may sweat and rot.
