The other day someone came into the shop eating pinion pine nuts. Some were dropped and I found a couple the following day. I’ve decided to try and sprout them, yes I know it will take a long time for them to grow to a size that will produce more nuts but I figure if I don’t live long enough to enjoy them someone else and some wildlife will no doubt enjoy them and the trees as well. I have watched several videos on sprouting pine trees but have opted to try a method that I have had great luck using to sprout other seeds. I take a sandwich bag or larger depending on how many seeds I’m trying to sprout, fold a paper towel to fit inside of bag, put enough water into bag to dampen paper towel and place seeds inside. You can then place seeds in a warm or cool place like the fridge depending on what the seeds need to germinate. I will assume my seeds have gone through what they will need to grow and so will place them on top of the fridge where it’s nice and warm. If your interested in growing things from seed but don’t have a lot of experience growing from seed I’d recommend watching several videos, reading books or seeking out someone willing to share their knowledge with you and go for it.
