Basics
- The Edible Seeds Inside the Pinecones of Certain Species of Pine Trees
- Their More Difficult Harvesting, Long Time Required for Trees to Mature and Produce Pine Nuts, As Well As Their Lower Profitability Compared to Other Crops Has Resulted in Limited Cultivation
- However the Market is Growing, and from a Permaculture / Food Forest perspective that may not matter as much!
- Also Non-Timber Forest Products can be more sustainable than conventional forestry (often Clear Cutting or Slash and Burn etc) while still providing a livelihood for the local people
Notes by Marcin
- Pinyon pine in Missouri - [1]
- trials in 1903 , pinyon in Nebraska appeared to work - [2]
- korean nut pine - zone 4 -[3]
- pine nut nursery - many suitable types appear to be available -[4]
Harvesting Methods
- The (semi-) mechanized process is largely similar to that of Tree Nut Harvesting
- Main difference is if using a Rotary Nut Collector or Rotary Nut Sweeper the spacing may need to be adjusted
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "DWU - THE QUEEN OF RANDOM" Titled "BEST TOOL FOR YOUR YARD!!! Nut Gather with Telescopic Handle from Home Hardware! | PICK UP PINECONES" (Main reason i posted the video is the comparison between using a Reach Extender and the rotary collectot)
