Pine Nut Tree 3L

The tree can tolerate very hot summers. They will tolerate almost any condition, including salt and are extremely wind tolerant. They grow best in hot dry summers and cool wet winters. They will grow on almost any soil other than a highly alkaline lime soil. Place the plant in rich well-drained soil and mulch with organic matter. This is a very hardy plant that will tolerate extreme conditions. Trees benefit from organic mulch.

Pine trees may be pruned but you have to prune cleanly to healthy branches with good clusters of needles because pines will not re-sprout from bare wood as many deciduous plants will. Never remove any more than 50-60% of the total foliage at any pruning session.

Attractive planted in a container for the first 4-5 years as your annual Christmas Tree. A stunning specimen tree and it makes an excellent wind-break.

Pine nuts are the edible seeds of pine trees (family Pinaceae, genus Pinus). About 20 species of pine produce seeds large enough to be worth harvesting; in other pines the seeds are also edible, but are too small to be of value as a human food. Pine nuts have been eaten in Europe and Asia since the Paleolithic period. Pine nuts are regarded as a delicacy in many cultures around the world. The shelled pine nuts appear like puffed grains of rice. The pine nut is often called the stone pine, because the tree grows well in stony ground.
