The "Misho" article in the latest issue of Bonsai Focus sparks these new inquiries.
I found a Scots pine next to my house and it is covered in pine cones. About half of them are open and the other half are closed.
I would like to collect some of these cones for seed. When should I do this as I have never attempted seed collecting from a pine. It seems like I have also heard I may have to steam the cones or something like that.
After collecting said seed would any stratification are scarification be required?
I also noticed some nice branches that looked like they would make good material, but I am under the impression that this type of pine does not airlayer well. Is this true?
