Like large pine nuts, they were delicious!

I don&#8217;t know of any trees that have survived on this side of the fjord, but on the slightly milder northern shores of Trondheimsfjord there are a least two sizeable trees. I reckon climate change has come far enough now for us now to be part of the Norwegian coastal zone north to Troms\u00f8 where this tree should grow! I&#8217;ve tried a couple of times before without success!<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30880\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P1066552.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P1066552.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P1066552-300x234.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P1066552-768x599.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P1066552-640x499.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>The very sharp end to the nut is clearly designed to penetrate the soil after falling!<br \/>I planted a small tree in the garden last summer, grown from seed and overwintered a couple of winters in my cellar,\u00a0 and it seems to be doing well so far!
