Few studies have been conducted on Stone pine (Pinus pinea) morphology, cone to kernel
yield (KY) and composition. To study the species variability, a morphometric and chemical …

Summary Introduction–Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is a species of economic interest for its
pine nuts. Despite this market, cones are harvested mostly from natural forests. Advances in …

Pinus pinea produces the most expensive pine nuts worldwide, with a masting habit
(variable cone productivity over time) in its native habitat. This study assessed the presence …

Pinus pinea is an interesting species especially for its fruit production, which depends upon
vegetative growth. Growth of this species was analyzed along a climatic gradient in Chile, in …

Cones are harvested from Mediterranean Stone pine Pinus pinea L. for their edible kernels,
pine nuts, which have been used as a food item in the region since Palaeolithic times. At …

Key message Cone to pine nut yield (PY), an important commercial feature of stone pine
cropping, was higher in Chile than in main producer countries. PY is highly variable along …

Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is a species of economic interest mainly due to its pine nuts, the
most expensive nut in the world. Despite the high value of pine nuts, cones are mainly …

Natural regeneration of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) stands in the Central Range of Spain
can be difficult to attain. The success of this regeneration is affected by factors such as the …

Aim of study: Our main goal is to determine the relationship between cone production and
radial growth in Pinus pinaster Ait. under different climatic conditions across the Iberian …
