Howdy again! I had not noticed your reply until reviewing seed source just now. I have had a little luck with the seeds we've found so far and are going to keep going on the Pinyon and Rocky Mtn. Juniper. We understand these are trees for the grand kids or whom ever comes later. Sounds like fall is when we need to converse. I'll write that down.

I really liked your approach to this. Your sheller is a great idea, the designs I have found on YT so far were wooden mills that can be calibrated with washers. Not as easy to make. r/GrowingPineNuts is a great community for pine nut enthusiasts (it's not only about growing pine nuts). It's really small (114 members). I am the founder there. I myself have harvested pine nuts but from cultivated Siberian (P. sibirica), Korean (P. koraiensis), and Siberian dwarf (P. pumila) pines in my area (pine nuts range in size from 0.31-0.51 in). Being in Latvia, it might be possible to grow pinon pines (P. edulis) in our climate since the tree has a -28.8 °C cold hardiness limit. I use an aluminum pole to harvest the cones prematurely (Sep 1st for Korean pines), as otherwise they would get eaten by woodpeckers or squirrels. Also, these cones do not open, so I am designing a pine cone mill (barrel with spikes).

And this is why pine nuts are soooo expensive. Rightfully so considering that every aspect is time consuming and laborious, from harvest to shelling.

I just saw a video by a Navajo woman that says he culture thinks it is taboo to shake the tree. It "shortens the winter for the tree:, she said......nevermind. just saw a younger Navajo woman's video and she shakes the trees too!

Interesting video. Never deshelled pine cones before. I was wondering though if there would be an easier way to separate the shells from the seeds, like water...ie., the seeds sink and shells float or vice versa?

@Doctors101 2 жыл бұрын

There probably is a better way. Honestly I don't remember if I tried that. I will next time. Thanks.

@ChristopherJones16 5 жыл бұрын

dont swish them up out of the pan in front of the fan.. just keep dumping them completely out of the pan into another container .. repeat until everything has blown out.. since your dumping all the contents directly in front of the fan.. its more efficient.. you will spend less time doing it that way.

If we use bees to harvest honey can we use squirrels to harvest nuts? If free housing, water and exotic snacks are given to the squirrels in return for their labor then maybe lol. Why do I feel someone is already working on this somewhere in the world haha. That would be strange to then classify nuts as not being vegan do to the labor process.

@wellesradio 4 жыл бұрын

Thousands of years of evolution at work there. If the squirrel doesn’t eat it, you can get it to store it in a specific place. The problem is that squirrels would probably be slower workers than humans. They have tiny hands, pick one nut at a time, and don’t travel large distances. And they really don’t reach any place that we can’t. The pine cones after all come to us when they fall. Squirrels would also cost more to keep than they could ever bring in. Bees are great for keeping because they are amazing workers, travel hundreds of miles in mere hours, get into tiny places we can’t and do it repeatedly. You can also keep thousands of them and they pay more than they cost. Heck, unlike squirrels, bees two greatest benefits (pollinating crops and making excess honey) are to them a mere byproduct. If the squirrel is being fed and housed, it really is earning its keep through work that is unnecessary to its own survival. The bees on the other hand are going to be doing their thing regardless of whether we’re along for the ride. We’re just their agents, not their bosses.

Thank you so much for this information! Can I ask about your pine nut sheller--Did you build it? Buy it? I would like my own sheller for the upcoming Colorado harvest this year. Any information you can provide would be super helpful.

Please see my other video of the nut sheller. It was home made with different size plastic buckets and concrete. I can can give you more details if you decide to make your own.

Its worth it to gather the nuts but not shell them like I did. We enjoy crunching on them, like sunflower seeds, all winter long.

Howdy. I'm interested in starting a bunch of pinion on our place near Alamosa do you have viable pinion seed I can buy? Please advise. Pinus edulis is the fonzerili of the high desert.

@Doctors101 3 жыл бұрын

I do not at the moment. It takes about 60 yrs to get a 6 ft tree from seed. They can live up to 600 yrs. You probably wouldn't live long enough to get nuts from the trees you plant. Best to harvest from surrounding forest. Any nuts you find our buy raw would be viable to plant if you wanted to get them started for future generations.

“New Mexico Piñon Nut Co.” still has some raw from 2020 harvest; just planted a couple hundred yesterday! For my descendents apparently... ;)

We do sell them. But since trees only produce approximately every seven years, we have nothing for at least a few more years.

@n2daair23 5 жыл бұрын

Not really true about the larger the tree, the larger the nut will be. Some of my best producing trees are not large at all, and some of the larger trees have more nuts but often they are smaller.
