Stone pine cones in South Tyrol. To produce pine liqueur, the red pine cones are collected at the end of June, mid-July, while they are still in full sap, before they're woody. The harvest is often labor-intensive, as the pine cones can only be hand-picked when allowed (the trees are often located in natural protection areas, where cone ...
Pine oil is a higher boiling fraction from turpentine. Both synthetic and natural pine oil consists mainly of α-terpineol, a C10 alcohol (b.p. 214–217 °C). [5] [1] Other components include dipentene and pinene. [6] The detailed composition of natural pine oil depends on many factors, such as the species of the host plant. [7]
Head cones were a form of solid perfume, containing myrrh, that were presumably made of a mixture of oils, resins and fat. Images of the era show people wearing them on wigs or on shaved heads. The slow melting of the cones due to bodily heat would have spread the fragrance. [3]

[1] It is a sweet and spicy honey, with some woody notes, a resinous fragrance and dark amber color.

Table Mountain pine typically has long, thick limbs on much of the trunk even in closed canopy stands. [7] Male cones are 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) long. Female cones are sessile and range from 4.2 to 10 centimetres (1.7 to 3.9 in) long. [7] Cone scales are tough and armed with broad, upwardly curving spines. [6]

Subfamily Piceoideae : cones are annual, without a distinct umbo, the cone scale base is broad, concealing the seeds fully from abaxial view, seed is without resin vesicles, blackish, the seed wing holds the seed loosely in a cup, leaves have primary stomatal bands adaxial (above the xylem) or equally on both surfaces.
On the coast, the knobcone pine may hybridize with bishop pine (Pinus muricata), and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata). In the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada, knobcone pine is often a co-dominant with blue oak (Quercus douglasii). [7] The species is susceptible to fire, but this melts the cone resin, releasing seeds for regrowth. [4]
