Pine Tree Time-lapse 300 Days

Last Christmas they sold these stone pine cones in the supermarket so I bought one to try to see if i could grow something from the seeds. And it turned out to be one of my favorites this year. Definitely keeping this one going for longer so there will most likely be an update video coming end of next year.
"The stone pine, botanical name Pinus pinea, also known as the Italian stone pine, Mediterranean stone pine, umbrella pine and parasol pine, is a tree from the pine family (Pinaceae). The tree is native to the Mediterranean region, occurring in Southern Europe and the Levant. The species was introduced into North Africa millennia ago, and is also naturalized in the Canary Islands, South Africa and New South Wales."

Love it! No annoying intros & outros, no "please like & subscribe", no timelapse in reverse at the end to stretch watchtime, just the pure video like in the old days of KZbin!

I actually brought a pine cone home from the American cemetery near the coast not far from Rome when I got home it fell out of my luggage and a few seeds popped out . Went on KZbin & learned how to grow it To my amazement it grew and. And is my prized possession.

[@theurbanthirdhomestead]

This was almost overwhelming. The miracle of life is a slow process. This was so fast that it made me feel anxious. With that being said, it was a fascinating video. Thank you

I always just assumed pine cones on the ground that hadn't opened weren't ever going to open. Thanks for showing me that was a bad assumption. That's a cute lil tree.

[@mirinae4313]

A nice little experiment: Pick a pine cone, put it in a humid condition: like on a shallow plate with some damp paper towel and wait; then let the cone dry. You can repeat it and marvel at!

[@chrlsstotz8679]

Lmao the music when the sprout dropped its cap and splayed out

[@thomasmanon]

Wow. I was wondering what to do with all the pine cones I collected, and then I randomly came across this video.

[@dgodrummer8110]

we live on the edge of a wild fire burn area, from a fire that swept through here in 2002. The fire killed most the pines. After 21yrs, we see the pine trees growing back. The biggest being about 6-8'. Of course, they did not sprout for a few years after the fire. So that is after 18-20yrs of growth. the Apsen, on the other hand have taken over. Where there were none, there are now huge groves of Aspen, 25' tall, some about 3-5" in diameter. The elk love to hide in these groves, which are prominent in the draws between the spines of a hill. Also b/c water generally travels these draws allowing the aspen to proliferate.

[@Doc1855]

We had to fall 17 pine trees to make room for our house and drain field. We’ve been in the process of planting new trees in different locations around our property.

This is amazing. I am capable of killing a cactus and you grew a pine tree in a pot. Incredibly beautiful.

[@martalibs]

Cacti are quite tricky to look after. I have green fingers but I think I always over care for my cacti by over watering them or not watering them enough. The only succulent I manage to keep alive and germinate the leaves is the Crassula Ovata. I never have any problems with any other indoor or outdoor plants 🤷🏻‍♀️

BRO SPENT 300 DAYS FOR THIS ❤❤❤

[@infiniteempath]

That was beautiful! Love the music. I hope it puts in perspective just how long it takes for a pine tree to be BIG. People cut them down like it’s nothing. 😢 This little baby is almost a year old and only a few inches tall.

[@gus473]

When we have conifers or other trees from seed (almost always little volunteers), it's usually about 3-5 years in a pot or garden bed before we can transplant. Then we have a wire cage or something to prevent deer damage for another 3-5 years, until the tip of the tree's around 6 feet/2 meters tall. Some trouble, yet worth it! 🌲😎✌️

[@evilsharkey8954]

Tell me about it! I planted a red pine seed I found on the ground, and it stayed as a single rosette of needles for most of the year! I put it in the ground six years ago, and it’s still barely six inches high, including the needles! Of course, it doesn’t have a parent tree to feed it through the mycorrhizal internet, but it’s still slower than I expected.

I've had a big lush blue stone pine before in a pot, it was perfect until sadly the frost killed it, it sucked. Just make sure to keep these as an indoor plant as they are very supseptable to frost when young, they can handle it once they've turned into a full tree.

[@adamschaafsma5839]

Freakin awesome! The dramatic explosion out of the seed was perfect and I also love that you included the pinecone drying and opening!

[@MiguelY22]

Can you please make a studio tour or some video to show us how you record all this??? Its incredible. Im sure a few big brands would pay you for a shout out too

[@fluchterschoen]

The concept is very simple and anyone can do this (which isn't meant at all to belittle this amazing video). To start with, it's not really a video - it's hundreds or a few thousand photographs that have been combined into a continuous stream. Which is exactly what a film (motion picture) is, except movie cameras take 24 photos every second and it's played back in real time. You could do timelapse in your garden, or in an indoor space like this one. The key things are to ensure the subject (the pine tree) is not moved, and there is a fixed camera mounting point that also does not move. You could leave the camera in place for the whole time, or if the point where the camera attaches to the tripod is high quality you could remove the camera to use it for other tasks (and obviously replace it in time for the next scheduled photo). You either manually take the photos once each day (or perhaps three a day at different times), or you could set up a timer to do this automatically. Once you have all your images, there is software (probably freeware) that will combine them into a video clip. I made a one minute stop motion video using the same basic techniques as described. Making a video over 300 days is something most people could do, but it will need some dedication to keep up the project - and you have to be patient to see the end results!

[@MiguelY22]

@@fluchterschoen I know what a time lapse is but I want to see what camera/gear they use. if they have a camera on 24/7 with some auto timer. And what software they use to turn the pics into videos. Also they have new videos often. So they must have 20+ plants growing at the same time. One camera for all? Going back and forth taking multiple photos per day or one cam for each plant on some timer??? Thats the kind of things i want to see

We grew Ponderosa pines from seeds in our backyard, after harvesting the seeds from our empty lot (well, not empty now). They’re still really small, probabaly because it’s time to transplant them into larger pots again. Out of 24- I think - we still have 14 growing successfully. No time lapse, but checking on them regularly was quite fun.

[@solar0wind]

Incredible! Looking forwards to the update video next year! If you can get your hand on seeds of that tree, could you make a Wollemi "pine" time lapse? (The tree has nothing to do with actual pines.)

[@Boxlapse]

I will have a look if i can get some seeds from somewhere

[@solar0wind]

@@Boxlapse Amazing, thank you! Beware that the tree has a lot of non-viable seeds. Some companies sort them out before selling the seeds (they're easy to differentiate), but some don't, vastly increasing the number of seeds necessary for one seedling.

[@MayuriK_it]

Plants are beautiful. Pines are really slow to grow, but they live soooo much!

[@fuzzywzhe]

I think you're incorrect about that. Pines grow quickly. Try this with a Maple or Oak tree. The reason pine is used so often in construction, is the entire tree can be harvested in just 20-30 years. Oak and Maple, bit longer but whatever you make out of them, will last a century.
