Pine tree
- Product number: 822870

This is the most common pine tree for harvesting pine nuts!
Driving through Southern Europe, you see the most beautiful Umbrella Pines, and it's a popular pastime there to collect the pine cones for self-harvested nuts. With our winters becoming milder, I see good opportunities for this conifer. Anyone with ample space can give it a good try. Find a sunny spot and make the soil as sandy as possible, ensuring the tree never has wet feet after a heavy downpour.
