Sugar Pine Cones


Sugar pines
are the tallest of all the pine trees and produce the largest of the pine cones. The cones take 2-3 years to mature for harvest.

Our cones are selected by hand in the forests of Southern Oregon. They can be used for holiday décor, flower arrangements, bird feeders (as shown in picture above on the right), or for other decorative purposes.

These cones are really huge and only a few can fit into a box, so shipping for our pine cones is higher than for our other products.

Sugar Pine Cone Folklore

In the Achumawi origin belief system, Annikadel, the creator, makes one of the 'First People' by intentionally dropping a Sugar Pine seed in a place suitable for growth. One of the descendants in this ancestry is Sugarpine-Cone man, who has a handsome son named Ahsoballache. After Ahsoballache marries the daughter of To'kis the Chipmunk-woman, his grandfather insists that the new couple have a child. To this end, the grandfather breaks open a scale from a Sugar Pine cone, and secretly instructs Ahsoballache to immerse the scale's contents in spring water and hide it inside a covered basket. Ahsoballache performs the tasks that night; at the next dawn, he and his wife discover the infant Edechewe near their bed.**

How To Make Your Own Pine Cone Bird Feeder

"To make a feeder that the birds will love, you'll need a pine cone, (any type will do), some wire or string (to hang it by), birdseed, and some fat. You can either use suet, peanut butter, or lard. Begin by drilling a small hole in the top of the cone so that you can run the string or wire through it. To make a mixture that will stick to the cone, first you need to melt the fat in a pan. Dip a pastry brush into the melted fat and brush it generously onto the cone.

Dip the cone into birdseed and pat it on, so that the seed sticks to the fat.  You can put quite a bit of seed onto the cone. Next, place the cone in a plastic bag and refrigerate for several hours, which will help to solidify the seed/fat mixture.  Take it outside and hang the feeder on your favorite tree or someplace where you can see it from the house. You won't have to wait long for the birds to find the feeder."
