I saw a Korean TV show about small-scale farming, which showed a video of how
they
harvested nuts from what I assume were Korean pines. Unfortunately, the
method
was climbing the 30-40 foot trees to get the cones.

A neat trick after that was roasting the entire cones on coals of an outdoor
fire. This
not only roasted the nuts, but also opened up the cones for easier nut
extraction.

Have y'all seen the shell on pine nuts though? They are hard. It must take
a long time
to extract much nutmeat from those little things.

~David Consolvo
Hungrytown Virginia, where the Korean pine trees are ~12 years old and only
~12 feet
high. No cones yet.

Maybe
others have had better luck. Hector
