10 seeds of Pinus pinea BONSAI Best price on Ebay!
Family	Pinaceae
Common name	Italian Stone Pine, European Nut Pine, Umbrella Pine The Stone Pine has also been called Italian Stone Pine, European Nut Pine, Umbrella Pine (not to be confused with the Japanese Umbrella-pine) and Parasol Pine. It has also occasionally been listed under the invalid name Pinus sativa.
Place of Origin	Europe 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. These have been trade items since early historic times. It is cultivated and often naturalised throughout the Mediterranean region, for so long that it is often considered native, while more recently (since about 1700) been introduced to other areas with Mediterranean climates. It is now naturalised in South Africa (where it is listed as an invasive species) and commonly planted in California, Australia, and western Europe north to southern Scotland. On the East Coast of the United States, it can survive as far north as New Jersey, though it will usually suffer significant damage to its foliage during winter that far north. Small specimens are grown in large planters or are used for Bonsai, and year-old seedlings are also widely sold as 20-30 cm tall table-top christmas trees.
Location of Collection	Europe
Description	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 wing is ineffective for wind dispersal, and the seeds are animal-dispersed, originally mainly by the azure-winged magpie, but in recent history, very largely by humans.

10 semi di Pinus pinea BONSAI Miglior prezzo su Ebay!!!!
Famiglia	Pinaceae
Nome Comune	Pino domestico o Pino a ombrello Il pino domestico (Pinus pinea, L. 1753) è l'albero più tipico delle zone circostanti al mar Mediterraneo, in particolare sulle coste settentrionali, dove forma vasti boschi (pinete) e regalando a persone e animali un'ombra molto gradita nel clima caldo e afoso dell'estate mediterranea.
Habitat & Diffusione	Europa Vive nelle zone costiere mediterranee; l'areale originario si trovava probabilmente in Portogallo e Spagna, ma è stato coltivato da quasi 6000 anni per i semi che sono anche diventati merce di scambio. Forma boschi litoranei dette pinete, dove vive in associazione con altre piante della macchia mediterranea. In Italia è coltivato praticamente ovunque, ad eccezione delle zone montuose. Si è naturalizzato in Africa meridionale, dov'è considerata invasiva, e piantata comunemente in California, Australia e Europa occidentale, fino alla Scozia meridionale.
Luogo di raccolta	Europa
Descrizione	Portamento: Alto fino a 25 metri, sebbene l'altezza più comune sia sui 12-20 m. Ha un portamento caratteristico, con un tronco corto e una grande chioma espansa a globo, che col tempo diventa sempre più simile a un ombrello. Corteccia: Spessa, marrone-rossiccia e fessurata in placche verticali. Foglie: Sono costituite da aghi flessibili in coppie di due e sono lunghi da 10 a 20 cm (eccezionalmente 30 cm). Fiori: Meglio indicati come sporofilli, maturano in aprile-maggio. Macrosporofilli: sono rossi, e crescono all'estremità dei nuovi germogli. Microsporofilli: sono giallo-arancione, più evidenti di quelli femminili, posti alla base del germoglio. Stronili: Sono lunghi 8-15 cm, ovoidali e grandi. Impiegano 36 mesi per maturare, più di qualsiasi altro pino. Si aprono a maturità per far uscire i semi. Questi ultimi, i pinoli (chiamati in inglese pine nuts e in spagnolo piñones) sono grandi, lunghi 2 cm, di color marrone chiaro con un guscio coperto da una guaina scura che si gratta con facilità e hanno una rudimentale aletta di 5 mm che va via facilmente. Il vento non ha effetto per trasportare i semi, che vengono dispersi dagli animali, tipicamente gli uccelli, ma oggi perlopiù dagli uomini.
