Korean Pine Seeds (Pinus koraiensis) Edible Nut & Premium Timber Tree for Cold Climates

Our germination rate is at least 80 percent under optimal conditions. Our seeds come pre-stratified, meaning they have already undergone 4-6 weeks of cold, moist treatment to break dormancy. Simply sow seeds at 1-2 cm depth in well-drained, sandy-loam soil. Keep soil consistently moist (not waterlogged) and maintain temperatures between 18-24 C. Germination typically begins in 14-28 days. If you store seeds for later use, keep them refrigerated at 4 C in a sealed container.

Every batch we ship includes a botanical identification certificate with seed photos and mother tree characteristics confirming the species as Pinus armandii Franch. (Chinese White Pine / Armand Pine). Key identifiers: needles in groups of 5, cones 10-20 cm long, and large wingless seeds. Unlike generic suppliers who may substitute with Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) or other five-needle pines, we provide DNA barcoding documentation upon request for complete traceability.

Our MOQ is 500 grams (approx. 1,800-2,200 seeds) for small-scale growers and bonsai enthusiasts, or 5 kg for commercial forestry projects. We ship via DHL, FedEx, or UPS (3-5 business days) or economy airmail (10-15 business days). All international shipments include a phytosanitary certificate for customs clearance and are packed in breathable, moisture-proof bags. For bulk orders (25 kg+), we offer sea freight options and volume discounts.
