Pine cones for sale

Extra large pine cones for sale for £1 each.  These cones came from a Stone Pine we removed from a garden in Bowdon this summer.  The cones are currently closed and around 10cm in length.  Under each scale are two edible seeds known as pine nuts housed in their own separate protective shells.  These seeds can be planted out in a bit of compost in late winter/early spring.  Germination of the seeds may take a few weeks, then watch as they grow into fantastic new trees that may one day produce their own crop of cones.
