Pine Nut

The (Italian) Stone Pine (or Umbrella Pine) (Pinus pinea; family is a species of pine native of Southern Europe . This tree has been exploited for its edible pine nuts since prehistoric times. It is also a widespread horticultural tree, besides being cultivated for the seeds.
The Stone Pine can exceed 25 m height, though is usually rather less tall, 12-20 m being more normal. It has a very characteristic umbrella-like shape, with a short trunk and very broad, smoothly rounded to nearly flat crown. The bark is thick, red-brown and deeply fissured into broad vertical plates. The flexible mid-green leaves are needle-like, in bundles of two, and are 10-20 cm long (exceptionally up to 30 cm). Young trees up to 5–10 years old bear juvenile leaves, which are very different, single (not paired), 2-4 cm long, glaucous blue-green; the adult leaves appear mixed with juvenile leaves from the fourth or fifth year on, replacing it fully by around the 10th year. Juvenile leaves are also produced in re-growth following injury, such as a broken shoot, on older trees.
The cones are broad ovoid, 8-15 cm long, and take 36 months to mature, longer than any other pine. The seeds (pine nuts piñones, pinhões or pinoli) are large, 2 cm long, pale brown with a powdery black coating which rubs off easily, and have a rudimentary 4-8 mm wing which falls off very easily.

The original range Stone Pine included Spain, Portugal and North Africa including major parts of the Sahara Desert, especially Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, when it was a more humid climate. It has been cultivated extensively for at least 6,000 years for the edible seeds

The Stone Pine has also been called Italian Stone Pine, European Nut Pine, Umbrella Pine and Parasol Pine.
