Box Full of Rocky Mountain Pinecones. More of the Larger Sized Cones than in my clearance boxes
I need to empty my shed, so I'm selling my entire pinecone stash! This box is full of mostly pine cones which vary from 2 3/4" to 4 1/2", there are some smaller cones which act like packing peanuts for the larger ones. The boxfull weights 5lbs 7oz. The box is packed as full as possible to prevent shifting.
Varieties include mostly Limber Pine, Ponderosa Pine, with some Lodgepole, Spruce, and Douglas-Fir cones. 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), 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. Nothing in my neck of the woods has ever 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.
