pine cone and the right time to pick it
we have not too far from us a little pine tree which has just produced this
cone. (see photo) http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2dqm5wp&s=3 we would like to try to grow the seeds. someone told us to plant the cone in a pot before it opens? but what would be the right time to do it, and how crucial is the timing? since it might open quickly and we cannot visit it every day. |

That doesn't sound like good advice but what would be the right time to do it, and how crucial is the timing? since it might open quickly and we cannot visit it every day. but it won't be ripe for a long time yet. "You cannot grow pine trees by planting pine cones. Pine seed are contained within the cones and must be taken out before planting. Collect ripe pine cones in the fall before they open, because most seed are shed soon afterward." http://msucares.com/pubs/publications/p1408.pdf -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
