Kind of a smaller, flatter version of a sunflower seed.

Getting Seeds from a Pine Cone

My mom and I were searching for pine cone seeds. She had just read that you shake it, but there were none there. How do we get some pine tree seeds?

It depends on the species of pine tree. Some have very small seeds, and if you are looking for the edible variety of pine nuts, I was told they only produce them every 7 years and from my experience in living among the trees, that is true. Better luck next year...

I would like to know the best way to get seeds from a pine cone, and the best way to make the seeds grow into a beautiful pine tree?


I collected some pine cones while at my wife's parents' home. Just found out that I may have picked up the wrong type of cones. I was hoping to grow some pine trees. From what I just read on pine cones, they have to be closed. All of the pine cones that I picked up were open. Can someone please show me a picture of the right type of cone to get, so that I can pass this on to my wife's parents.

This one is partially open. Even if you can find one like this one, there are likely still seeds unreleased in the top portion. Best wishes with your tree! (01/05/2010)
