pine tree for pine nuts
Hi. My UK seed catalogue offers seeds for a medium sized Korean pine - p. koraiensis - which will produce pine nuts. Would love to hear from anyone with any knowledge of this tree - eg. how high it will grow and how long to produce fruit from seed, assuming UK climate of the south.

Would love to hear from anyone with any knowledge of this tree - eg. how high it will grow and how long to produce fruit from seed, assuming UK climate of the south. You could also consider the parasol pine, pinus pinea. [At least the French call it the parasol pine, which is much better than the umbrella pine, particularly as it doesn't keep the rain off.] Grows medium tall and very parasol-like. It's the distinctively-shaped pine o fparts of the Med, and the source of the pine-nut of Italian cuisine. I've just got my first couple of cones afetr about 8 years from planting out small pots. -- Anton |
