Pinie

Die Pinie liefert nicht nur die wohlschmeckenden Pinienkerne, sondern sie wird auch medizinisch genutzt!

Bereits Dioskurides erkannte die Pinie als entzündungshemmend und harntreibend.

Bei Muskelkater, Muskelzerrungen, rheumatischen Beschwerden:

• Tinktur aus Piniennadeln und harzenden Pinienzapfen anwenden, anschließend eine Ringelblumensalbe bzw. Johanniskrautöl auftragen.
  • ​Bemerkung: Für diese durchblutungsfördernde Tinktur eignen sich auch Nadeln und Zapfen von Latsche (Bergkiefer), Zirbe, Föhre (Waldkiefer), Fichte 

Management: Standard Minor Global Crop Staple Crop: Protein-oil Thrives in a light well-drained sandy or gravelly loam. Dislikes poorly drained moorland soils and shady positions. Established plants tolerate drought. Succeeds in a chalky soil. This species is hardy to about -18°c. Although sometimes thought to be somewhat tender in this country, it is perfectly hardy as far north as south-east Scotland. The trees transplant very badly if they are allowed to stay in one position for more than 2 years. This is usually a short-lived tree, rarely surviving for much more than 100 years. The Italian stone pine is extensively planted for its edible seeds in Europe. The variety 'Fragilis' has thin shelled seeds and is the form most widely cultivated. Trees take between 10 and 20 years to produce cones from seed. One of our plants produced its first young female cone when 7 years old, though this did not mature because it was not fertilised[K]. A 20 year old plant at Kew was about 4.5 metres tall with a number of trunks and had more than 15 mature cones[K]. A very old specimen at Kew was carrying lots of 1st and 2nd year cones in July 1996[K]. The cones ripen in their third year and can then remain unopened on the tree for several years. Plants are strongly outbreeding, self-fertilized seed usually grows poorly. This species does not hybridize with other members of this genus. Leaf secretions inhibit the germination of seeds, thereby reducing the amount of plants that can grow under the trees. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus. Special Features: Not North American native, Inconspicuous flowers or blooms. Pine species are generally not self-fertile; they require cross-pollination between different trees to produce seeds effectively. Pine seeds are typically harvested in late summer to early autumn, usually from August to October (Northern Hemisphere), when cones begin to open and release seeds. Pine trees usually flower in spring, typically from March to June (Northern Hemisphere), depending on the species and climatic conditions. Growth rates vary significantly among pine species, but many can be considered fast-growing, reaching heights of 10 to 30 feet (3 to 9 meters) within 5 to 10 years, depending on species and environmental conditions.

Edible Parts: Seed Edible Uses: Condiment Seed - raw or cooked. Rich in oil, the seed has a soft texture with a hint of resin in the flavour. It makes a delicious snack and can also be used as a staple food[K]. The seeds are often added to ice cream, cakes, puddings etc. They can also be ground into a powder and used as a thickener and flavouring in soups etc[K]. The seed is a good size, up to 20mm x 10mm, and is a major source of pine nuts in commerce. A vanillin flavouring is obtained as a by-product of other resins that are released from the pulpwood. Young pine cones can be ground into a powder and used as a flavouring.

Dye Herbicide Resin Wood Agroforestry uses: Pines are valuable in agroforestry for timber production, erosion control, and as windbreaks. They can also improve soil quality and provide habitat for wildlife. Some species produce edible pine nuts, contributing to biodiversity and food sources. Landscape Uses: Aggressive surface roots possible, Screen, Seashore, Specimen. A tan or green dye is obtained from the needles. The needles contain a substance called terpene, this is released when rain washes over the needles and it has a negative effect on the germination of some plants, including wheat. Yields a resin and turpentine. Oleo-resins are present in the tissues of all species of pines, but these are often not present in sufficient quantity to make their extraction economically worthwhile. The resins are obtained by tapping the trunk, or by destructive distillation of the wood. In general, trees from warmer areas of distribution give the higher yields. Turpentine consists of an average of 20% of the oleo-resin and is separated by distillation. Turpentine has a wide range of uses including as a solvent for waxes etc, for making varnish, medicinal etc. Rosin is the substance left after turpentine is removed. This is used by violinists on their bows and also in making sealing wax, varnish etc. Pitch can also be obtained from the resin and is used for waterproofing, as a wood preservative etc. Wood. Used for carpentry, furniture making etc. 1. Nectary - Flowers rich in nectar and pollen: No – Pines produce pollen but are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not attract nectar-seeking pollinators like bees or butterflies. 2. Wildlife - Food (Fruit, Seeds, Leaf litter, Shelter, Nesting, Roosting): Yes – Pine seeds (pine nuts) are an important food source for birds, mammals, and other wildlife. The dense foliage and evergreen nature of many pine species offer shelter, nesting, and roosting sites for birds and small mammals. Leaf litter from pines contributes to the habitat for various organisms. 3. Invertebrate Shelter (Overwintering sites, Leaf litter, Groundcover): Yes – The bark, leaf litter (pine needles), and fallen branches provide overwintering and shelter for many invertebrates. The structure of pine forests also offers cover for various species. 4. Pest Confuser (Smell): Yes – The resinous, aromatic scent of pine trees may have some pest-repellent properties, though it is not typically classified as a pest confuser in the way some plants with strong aromatic oils are.
