Description:
There are a couple of Pinus pinea trees on my grounds. One I grew from a seed, and the other I grew from a tiny seedling bought from a mail-order tree supplier called "Diggers Seeds" in Dromana, Victoria, Australia. Pinus pinea is also called "Stone Pine", because the large seeds resemble stones. It's also called "Umbrella Pine" because it has a habit of losing its lower branches and, thus, taking on rather an umbrella-like shape./nPinus pinea are VERY drought-resistant, once established. The nuts have been used in traditional Greek cookery--as an ingredient in stuffed vineleaves, for example. Very tasty./nI ask why Australia is obliged to import these nuts, all the way from China, when we could simply have them--for FREE--growing along our streets and roads. Or as in my backyard..../nAlways seek expert guidance when foraging for wild foods. Dont take my word for a plants edibility but, instead, check out several reliable sources of information (like books and websites). Also ask botanical and wild food experts for their guidance./n.....
