Tree seed

[departed]

My daughter and I recently collected about a dozen Monterrey pine cones to paint up ready for xmas.....early I know! But, they've all opened up in this heat so last night we stripped all the seed out of them. We've now got half a kilo of pine seed and I'm not sure what to do with it all!!

 

Does anybody have a use for the 500g of Monterrey pine seed we've collected??

 

Do the FC (NRW) still buy tree seed? If they do, is it worth the effort of collecting and processing seed? I'm not expecting huge £ but a bit of pocket money for the kids to keep them keen on being in the woods would be nice.

 

Thanks,

Sion

I reckon they'd make more money selling seedlings. Would make nice little Christmas trees!

Good idea. We would only be able to grow them to plug size though, as we only have a small garden and certainly no land to grow Christmas trees 👎

Thanks for your input.

Plug size would be best - easy to sell and potentially post. Nice little gift for someone
