Fascinating. I've never heard of the Coulter Pine. The older tree looks like it's dying - losing all its needles and turning brown.

Could you pick some of them pine cones, soak them in water and let them stay under water for 24 hours (to drown the spiders and other insects) then dry them (without letting new spiders enter the cone), pack them (while spraying some insecticides inside the package) and send them to me for a small fee? I guess I could pay 3 dollars per cone for about 5 of them?

Sorry, I would love to, but would feel pretty guilty to Mother Nature.

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

@@battlefoxx I wasn't going to send it to outer space so mother nature won't complain. It will still be on earth - but just in my garden instead of rotting in the forest.
