Title: RE: Possible SPAM::Possible SPAM::[NAFEX] Pine tree Nuts

Sorry that I did not include this in my original post.  Korean pine is Pinus koraiensis.  It should be hardy in Wisconsin as should the Siberian and Swiss stone pines, both of which produce relatively large pine nuts.  A little more info is also available on the Soc. of Ontario Nut Growers Web page at http://www.songonline.ca/nuts/nut_pines.htm . -- Sam Brungardt

I've found Forest Farm Nursery in Oregon to be an excellent source of hard-to-find plants.  Its Web site is at http://www.forestfarm.com/.  A friend who has a tree farm outside Minneapolis has planted some Korean pines (I'm not sure which species) that are supposed to bear pine nuts and are hardy in this climate.

Also, the Northern Nut Growers Assn. Web site has some good links to sites having information about pine nuts, including production (see http://www.icserv.com/nnga/links.htm#PINE). -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn. (USDA Zone 4b in the metro area heat island)

Subject: Possible SPAM::Possible SPAM::[NAFEX] Pine tree Nuts

    Am looking for some help to find a source of Pine Tree Nut trees. Had
the chance to enjoy some nuts(imported) while on a visit to our family in
California this summer. They were very tasty.
Have started my son-in-law on vegetable gardening and 6 fruit trees, now

would like to expand to raising a couple of pine nut trees.
   The question I have as I live in Wisconsin, the shipping laws are
different for each state,  what are the restrictions for California?
   Where can you get nut trees that are for that zone?  Searching Google

there are some in Canada but could not find any other places.  Seems like
they are even grown in colder areas.
  Has anyone grown those anywhere on the West Coast?
   Would love to get him a couple for his upcoming birthday and let him
start and as they have a couple of young children, it would be a chance for
all to watch and learn.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated either on line or off
line.                   Regards-Ray
P.S.  Notice a lot of searching is done by the Nafex group, you might try
http://clusty.com/ .  It groups a lot of info for you and beats Google in
ease of finding items.
