Pine Nut

Pinus pinea

Pine Nuts trees Portugal

Pine Nut with a drop of water caught in the pine needles which is very delicate

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.

this is growing in terrible rocky/sandy soil on our farm property and is thriving. One of the only trees that survived the back to back 40 degree days over summer.
