The cones are broad, ovoid, 8–15 cm (3–6 in) long, and take 36 months to mature, longer than any other pine. The seeds (pine nuts, piñones, pinhões, pinoli, or pignons) are large, 2 cm (3 ⁄ 4 in) long, and pale brown with a powdery black coating that rubs off easily, and have a rudimentary 4–8 mm (5 ⁄ 32 – 5 ⁄ 16 in) wing that ...
The seeds of the pinyon pine, known as "pine nuts" or "piñóns", are an important food for American Indians living in the mountains of the North American Southwest. All species of pine produce edible seeds, but in North America only pinyon produces seeds large enough to be a major source of food.
The male cones are slender conic, 5–11 cm (2.0–4.3 in) long and 1–2 cm (0.39–0.79 in) broad and reddish-brown in colour and are lower on the tree than the seed cones. [3] Seedlings appear to be slow-growing [3] and mature trees are extremely long-lived; some of the older individuals today are estimated to be between 500 and 1,000 years old.
A seedling is a young sporophyte developing out of a plant embryo from a seed. Seedling development starts with germination of the seed. A typical young seedling consists of three main parts: the radicle (embryonic root), the hypocotyl (embryonic shoot ), and the cotyledons (seed leaves).
In video games using procedural world generation, the map seed is a (relatively) short number or text string which is used to procedurally create the game world ("map"). "). This means that while the seed-unique generated map may be many megabytes in size (often generated incrementally and virtually unlimited in potential size), it is possible to reset to the unmodified map, or the unmodified ...
Pine trees are usually better adapted to a sandy or sandy loam soil, [9] while white spruce trees and fir trees, such as the Douglas fir, prefer fine-texture loams and clay loam soils. [9] Some trees grow well in all types of soil, but in any case, the land must be well-drained for a Christmas tree farm to have a chance of thriving. [9]
Pinus serotina, the pond pine, black bark pine, bay pine, marsh pine, or pocosin pine, [2] is a pine tree found along the Southeastern portion of the Atlantic coastal plain of the United States, from southern New Jersey south to Florida and west to southern Alabama. [3] Pond pine distribution may be starting to spread west towards Mississippi ...
Pinus pinaster, the maritime pine [2] [3] or cluster pine, [2] is a pine native to the south Atlantic Europe region and parts of the western Mediterranean. It is a hard, fast growing pine bearing small seeds with large wings.
