great to learn about these Pinea trees. I have 15 mature trees here in South Wairarapa that I did not fully understand until now. I am growing seedlings from mine so Knowing for certain what they are makes me happy.
In my opinion this is a underrated business. In Europe people could grow Swiss Stone Pine, but apparently, it's totally neglected. Pretty sad how people in northern Europe miss this opportunity! I have planted 2 Swiss stone pines myself, and expecting first nuts in 3-4 years.
pine nuts are amazing! Here in Catalonia (a mediterranean nation betwen Feance and Spain we have inmense forrest of pine trees..and the pine nut it's really apreciated and used in all kind of dishes in the Catalan cuisine. Love the smell of pine trees and when you eat a pine nut you can feel that pine forrest flavour, simply amazing and worth its price since its so hard to produce. Also very used for deserts and cakes. My mom told me the Argelians make a deli,cious tea and add some fresh mint leafs ans pine nuts
I have seen pine trees growing all around me but never knew that we could eat the nuts of pine until randomly saw a video on UA-cam 30 years later.... Lol
Could plant breeders hybridise Stone Pine (Pinus pinea) with either Siberian Pine (Pinus Sibirica) or Swiss Pine (Pinus Cembra)? Those can get nuts as big as hazelnuts, apparently. And why can't that pesky weed tree Phoenix canariensis be crossed with the edible date palm, P. dactylifera? That could mean a date palm that might grow in cooler New Zealand conditions. P. canariensis are edible but easily damaged and don't last long enough to make it to market.
@@vineleak7676 That's amazing, as one tends to fantasize them as only existing in some hot climate oasis or California or somewhere. So why are they not grown in plantations elsewhere, in more temperate climates, then? Why haven't Kiwis grown them? (They have been so innovative with avocados, babacos, tamarillos, Chinese gooseberry vine, African horned melons, various berry fruits and things.)

good stuff, hope you are making a tidy profit by now
Can that Mediterranean pine tree (Pinus Pinea) grow in tropics like in the Philippines?
