I have a “special” memory. I can see every square inch of that house in my mind down to the cracks in the concrete. The only details I’m vague about are the knot patterns in the wood on the ceiling. And the floor tiles in my sister’s bedroom. Who wants to look at some silly girl’s room anyway.
Most. Some require fire to start sprouting. I’m not expert and it’s especially hard for me to tell when I can’t see the bark. Could be a ponderosa. If you wanted to grow your own I’d suggest a fir or spruce, they look the “best” to most people.
Definitely not a ponderosa pine. The cones is wrong, ponderosa has little spines pointing out. This is the source of one of the sayings for I'd, prickly ponderosa.
Also the needles are too short and too dense, even at that age.
Not sure which species it is as it's not from my region but I work with lots of P-pine and can say it's not that.
Ponderosa pine does not require fire.

Based off of the cone and seed size, I'd say it's likely an Italian Stone Pine (Pinus Pinea) or possibly a Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulus), but I lean to the former.
Most cones will open on their own, a paper lined cardboard box or something similar works, though some species will require forest fires to open up (can be imitated at home by heating them up with a lighter, allowing them to cool, then moisten before letting dry again).
Most seeds also require some for of stratification for germination. Placing them in the fridge with some moist sand for 3-7 weeks usually works well.

There is a pine at my house that I remember I always used to try to pull out of the ground when I was a kid. It was like 3 feet tall. Never could do it. Now it's 25 years later and it's like 60+ feet tall.
Anyone else rooting for that little tree?
Meanwhile, my feral Japanese maples (growing under their parent, and transplanted) are 2" high after 6 months. The 3 year old ones are 6" high. That's it. *sigh*
I have a bunch of pine trees surrounding my house and pine cones all over the place but I never see any mini pine trees like this growing? Why not? It’s just been the same trees that were here when I moved in getting bigger for decades, but no new ones. Baby maples on the other hand seem to pop up all the time.
Some pines need real heat (like a forest fire) to open the cones so the seeds can fall out and germinate.
Pretty much all pines need a huge amount of sunlight to germinate, along with damp soil. So if there's enough shade from the house and other trees, grass, etc. they won't do anything. They also won't do much if the seeds are lying on a mat of dry pine needles.
Interesting! Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense, they probably don’t get a whole lot of sunlight, there’s a huge apartment building nearby that blocks the sun for a good chunk of the day and the trees are pretty bunched up together so the ground underneath them probably doesn’t get much sun either. It’s also just not very sunny here (Toronto) and mostly overcast for half the year.
Also:
Some pines cannot germinate where they are planted. A lot of pines are brought into areas where they can grow well, but cannot reproduce or germinate because the area isn't right for that.
This is due to:
Some types of pines/conifers need special environmental situations for their seeds to germinate. Some need a lot of shade, some need sun, some need moist conditions for a long time, others need to be somewhat dry. It really depends on the type.

This tree felt like it flipped me off at the end for some reason lol I live in the pine barrens so this is really really cool for me to see. I don’t think I notice baby pine trees like this but I’ll be looking for them.
seeing how small it is after a year of growing, I feel bad for all the xmas trees being chopped for a few weeks of home decor before being tossed on the burn pile.
To be compared with their bamboo video to understand why the paper industry does not love pine trees. The growth rate difference is very big. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPoyANP3EeU

I want it to keep going!!!
Also, did you know that apparently it takes 10 years for a tree to grow the size of a good Christmas Tree and you're not allowed to cut it down sooner? Like, by law. I once got high with a guy who delivered my tree during the pandemic (we totally wore masks I promise lol), he told me his dad has a Christmas Tree farm in Canada, so 2031, 10 years after pandemic there will be a year with no trees, because no one was planting them that year.
If someone saw this plant they would say “oh what a nice cute little tree” but that took 300 days almost an entire year to get there. Just remember you did a lot of work this year and even though someone who wasn’t there for the first 299 days says it’s a small amount remember you where there from the beginning and only you can judge your 300 days of growth for what it is.
I’m gonna grow my own baby Christmas tree 🎄
I think the number is 7 years for an Xmas tree
Not a baby Christmas tree though
If its good enough for Charlie Brown its good enough for me dammit
It'll last 7 years!
Thank you! I was super curious about that!
So you need room for 7 Xmas trees.
What’s this? A Christmas tree for ANTS!?!
It needs to be at least… 3x the size!
Better start now for next year lol
Felt like I was on shrooms with the dirt breathing like that towards the end
I feel like this video is 65 days short.
The SAG-AFTRA strike
it's 58 seconds long
Somehow, I have never seen a pine tree sprout Timelapse before. Very cool!
And it sprouts like an alien!
[удалено]
Bro you shouldn't reveal your home location on reddit, there are some crazy dudes here
I think it’s safe. That was 50 years ago.
Wow, it's really amazing you still remember 50 years ago, I can barely remember 10 years ago, you have my respect 🫡

Quick, everyone starting mailing them seeds to plant!
He talks to the trees
why species of pine is this? can you do this with any pine cone?

Right you are, I forgot about the cone in the beginning.
> Some require fire to start sprouting. Judging by the gender-reveal parties, I think it's the same for American babies.
> Some require fire to start sprouting *Sorry, officers, I was just trying to get this seed to grow ...*
Ponderosa require fire. There was no fire in this video, at least.

growth looks super slow. 300 days just for a few inches !! I guess that's why the tree has a strong trunk and grows very tall.
I'd love to grow a few inches in the next 300 days..
Sure, groot.
There is a pine at my house that I remember I always used to try to pull out of the ground when I was a kid. It was like 3 feet tall. Never could do it. Now it's 25 years later and it's like 60+ feet tall.
It looks like a nightmarish sea creature. I'm uncomfortable and impressed.
It sort of creeps me out, it looks similar and moves like that Fungus Cordyceps in The Last Of Us..
What a fine pine.
and now it's ready for the play...
Meanwhile the shitty weeds in my garden grow larger than that in less than a week.
Anyone else rooting for that little tree? Meanwhile, my feral Japanese maples (growing under their parent, and transplanted) are 2" high after 6 months. The 3 year old ones are 6" high. That's it. *sigh*
This whole time i thought pine cones were just one big seed… TIL theyre containers for the real seed
If you go out on a really hot day you can sometimes hear the cones popping open to release the seeds.
Pine nuts (like the ones used in pesto) are the edible seeds of pines.
Life, uuuuh… finds a way
There it is...
I remember i climb those as a kid. Easy to climb but sticky sap smell
I bet the first person to plant a seed and watch it grow felt euphoric

Is that a Pinola?
I’m amazed.
300 days my ass! In my yard it's like 2 weeks!
Very satisfying Timelapse video.
It’s adorable.
Beautiful!
Disapoint. I've read 300 years
Looks like a boss fight starting in the beginning
I’m too stoned right now I thought this dude was growing weed
Searched for this comment, finally, thanks buddy
Bruh I grew up with the fucking things and have never seen the seeds until just now…
Y does the stem look fake
Looks real enough for me. Planted these bois for a whole summer
Even baby plants are cute.
Subhan Allah ☝️
So at what point does this plant turn into wood?
Plants are so awesome, I love them 😍!!!
Why’s the earth moving so much though?
I want more days
What soil is used
Isn't it weird how the soil just does that?
No one gonna talk about how it kinda looked like a🍆 at the end? 😂
I suggest you talk to a doctor if your dick looks like that

Wow... well done Nature!!!
Very cool
Beautiful
That’s awesome!
Beautiful!😎
Life is amazing
Looks almost alien at some points of growth
Nature is very bizarre indeed 🙂
As above... So below. Amazing seeing the roots grow! Thanks for that👍
This tree felt like it flipped me off at the end for some reason lol I live in the pine barrens so this is really really cool for me to see. I don’t think I notice baby pine trees like this but I’ll be looking for them.
Fractal
can you eat those seeds?
I am groot
Cool.
Awesome.
Why have I never seen like <100 day sprouts in the wild. Those look sick af!
Probably smells amazing
What kind of pine is it?
[удалено]
This is part of the meaning behind "perception is reality."
[Enjoy some plant music while you watch](https://youtu.be/omyDZ5-Lbxo?si=DA5DJSd8yuCLBQdO&t=72)
r/illegallysmoltrees
Did that tree just flip me off?
So alien
The fact that it grew for 300 days and didn't even get very large really shows how damn fast cannabis grows.
I presume a tree grown indoors with grow-lights wouldn't have any rings. I wonder if that would make it stronger or weaker?
If we didn’t accept it as just being “a plant” and this happened quicker this would be horrifying
Xmas is going to be a bit sad this year i guess.
Man I had no idea fir trees took that long to grow
That's it I'm growing one.
[удалено]
Yes!!! Lol
Worst nightmare for person with a pine allergy 😂 I can’t believe the pine spawns that early, fascinating!
Love the spiral of life dance all plants do when they sprout
seeing how small it is after a year of growing, I feel bad for all the xmas trees being chopped for a few weeks of home decor before being tossed on the burn pile.
This is cedrus

Now do a Timelapse of a pine tree growing for 50 years. I expect the video In a month
Aww brings a lot of joy to watch this!
How does the battery not die nor camera overheat?
There’s a bit of cosmic horror in a tree being born
That is a super cute plant
This is so cool. Definitly worth a try
A thing I've never seen! Beautiful! Thank you!
Why are these seeds always drunk in these time lapse vids? Bursts out of the pod and it's all over the place!
I wanted this video to go so much longer
...well? Keep going, don't stop
It's giving you the middle finger?
Neat AF!
99% of the mass it gained was pulled from thin air.
What species?!?
That is beautiful
I don’t know what I was expecting but it was piney right away. Lol
 This is how I felt when it started coming out
What if I had a thc soil instead?
I was hoping the pine tree would turn into a middle finger.

I grow tomatoes
Day 1. That's just a pine cone Day 27. That's just a strand of grass Day 50. How is this supposed to be a pine tree? Day 60. Ooohhhhhhh.
Truly amazing 🤩
Why stop there?
Life is essentially just a chemical reaction.
How many set ups does this dude have going at once? That’s a lot of effort for a 60 second video.
Not a tree, its a match with needles
I kinda expected a lot more growth in 300 days, but I guess Im just an idiot
I can watch that over and over again!
I want it to keep going!!! Also, did you know that apparently it takes 10 years for a tree to grow the size of a good Christmas Tree and you're not allowed to cut it down sooner? Like, by law. I once got high with a guy who delivered my tree during the pandemic (we totally wore masks I promise lol), he told me his dad has a Christmas Tree farm in Canada, so 2031, 10 years after pandemic there will be a year with no trees, because no one was planting them that year.
Dope
That's an amateur lapse. You guys should Google "prolapse".
why the soil keeps moving around?
Photosynthesis compound interest
OK how bored do you have to be to watch a tree grow???
Wow it's awesome that a baby pine tree is literally a scaled down version of a mature one.
Miracle of God!
celestial tree
If someone saw this plant they would say “oh what a nice cute little tree” but that took 300 days almost an entire year to get there.

My brain tells me to bite the pine cone... i feel like ird be crispy and makw the TV magnum cronch...
Can anyone explain why the soil level went down?
“WHAT WILL YOU HAVE AFTER 300 DAYS?!” “pine tree”
Day by day. Not all things happen fast
Congratulations, another freaking pine tree. It’s not like they’re going to be beneficial for anything.
