I gather these cones off the ground on my property at an altitude of 9000 feet. The trees in my piece of mountainside forest are tall and straight with the cones growing on the top third, way out of my reach. They fall to the ground due to the weather, or the squirrels who seem to enjoy dropping many cones to the ground while searching for the perfect one.Cones from the pine trees are woody and hard, while the Douglas-fir and Spruce cones tend to be more papery but very stiff. There are prickles on Poderosa and Lodgepole cones. I try to send a good assortment of clean (no dirt), natural, whole cones. There will be some pitch, a few needles, and occasionally a small piece of branch attached. Answers to questions I often get: Yes there are seeds in the cones, but I don't know how to grow pine trees. They sprout like weeds here in the mountains, so I think it's easy to grow pine trees. Limber pines are only found at high altitudes in the Rockies.The forest in my county has never been sprayed with poisons. I'm sorry but I really do not have the time to sort out and measure cones of a specific size. If you have any questions, please contact me before you start bidding, if possible.
