Pine Nut

$19.90 ($19.75-$99.00 choose a size)

An attractive large pine tree that bears cones of edible nuts. These are considered a delicacy in Mediterranean style cooking, due to their sweet, buttery flavour. Trees can be expected to start producing cones from about year 6. But can take longer. Each cone holds about 50 nuts and 100 kg of cones holds about 20 kg of nuts. Grows best in dry cooler areas with excellent drainage. Trees can set nuts on their own, but cones may be poorly filled. Plant two or more to improve nut set.

Sensitive to frost, the foliage and fruit can also be damaged by intense heat and drought. Citron has been cultivated since ancient times, and is still much revered today for cultural and religious reasons.

Cape Chestnut

This purchase was for a small acreage allotment with the overall intent of providing a nice shade tree - in time. Planting location is on mid North Coast NSW and there are a number of larger fully grown trees in the district that I have observed. Product delivered was a good size and as advertised and am very pleased with the purchase.
