Did you know that the Coulter Pine Tree, one of the smallest in circumference pine trees in our forest, produces the largest pine cones in the world. The average circumference of our 3 main pine trees are: Coulter 3 Ft., Ponderosa 4 Ft., and Jeffrey up to 8 Ft. in circumference. Here in Idyllwild, we have the honor of having both the biggest pine cone in the world (The Coulter) and the longest pine cone in the world (The Sugar Pine). Coulter Pine cones are also called “widow-makers” or “Killer Coulters” because if one were to fall and hit you, it would do some damage. It’s funny that the biggest cone comes from one of the smallest pine trees.
If you’ve never baked a coulter pine cone in your oven, you should try it. It makes your house smell wonderful! Just find a coulter pine cone (the sappier the better) and put it on a cookie tray (with foil of course) and bake at 200 degrees for about an hour. Not only will it make your house smell wonderful, but it will melt any sap on the cone and make it glossy and less sticky to hold once the sap has melted and solidified.
