Italian Stone Pine seedlings
We are also propagators of Pinus pinea seedlings in forestry tubes. The seeds for these trees are sourced from our own pine nut plantation of 200 established trees at the nursery. These pines are drought tolerant because they are tap rooted trees and produce edible pine nuts. Pine nuts are used to make pesto and other gourmet food products. The trees are slow growing but from the age of 10 years produce nuts and continue producing for over 150 years. Stone pine nuts are a premium product which are double the size of the Korean pin nuts available in the shops. When freshly cracked they are soft and juicy by comparison. Fresh nuts can fetch upwards of $100 a kilo. Being tap rooted, unlike most surface rooted pines, Italian stone pine trees grow grass under their canopy and that means pasture is still available for stock grazing. The shade of the trees provides good protection from the sun for our stock. White cockatoos cannot eat the cones but black cockatoos can. Call me if you want to know more about stone pines.
