Can I plant seeds from a pinecone and get a tree??

I found these great pinecones that I LOVE, and I've had them for about 1 year and I'm making a wreath with them but noticed the seeds all fell out and I was wondering if anything would happen if I tried to plant them.





Thanks for you help!!

Can I plant seeds from a pinecone and get a tree??
actually some pinecones will only be able to grow into trees after they have been through a fire. They searing heat does something do the coating on the seeds to make them sprout. I would try planting a couple in soil as they are and try some with the outside shell filed down on one side. Just enough to expose the inside. These may sprout better.
Reply:Yes, they will grow into a pine tree.





However, it will take a long time.





If you want a pine tree, go to your local nursery or home improvement store and buy one that is already ready to transplant. Otherwise, plant the seed and wait.
Reply:a pinecone is basically a seed so if you plant a pinecone you get a pine tree
Reply:wow! from a wreath? That is SO cool! Let me know if it works, I want to plant an easter egg and see if I can grow a basket of candy
Reply:take them out to the woods and toss them into the dirt. that is how they grow in forests.
