State Tree Map ep 12: New Mexico's Piñon Pine

One of my personal favorite species of pine tree, even if it's one where people from New Mexico yell at me for pronouncing it with my Utah accent. I'm sorry, everyone, both pronunciations are okay! Let's be friends!

You know, I think that New Mexico is highly underrated. Like, it’s such a beautiful state, yet it’s only known for breaking bad, and blue meth. 😂😭

As a former New Mexican, I lived in the city of Albuquerque, and I do not agree that New Mexico is a beautiful state. And has so many problems, such as overpowering government, poverty, and drugs. New Mexico is ranked 50th on best state. It is the second worst state in all of America.

as a current new mexican in abq, I like it here, clear skies less traffic than other cities and while it does have its problems downtown has felt signifanctly better to be in than other downtowns I've been to. Additionally the arcitecture is great to see out here! *v*

Honestly, I love New Mexico. I'm a current resident, and if you really get out here, it can be beautiful. I love ot here, and am glad to call it home!

0:17 that pronounciation is due to the letter ñ (its its own letter seperate from n in the Spanish alphabet) so it has a different pronounciation compared to the letter n wich is evident in that pronounciation piñon (pi-NY-on) you see? its basically an accentation like the ´ often placed on vowels lol im just nerding out about my language and the 27 letter alphabet an stuf because pronounciations are cool and stuf

One of my family's Christmas traditions is to cut down a fresh pinion pine for our Christmas tree.

One of the scariest experiences of my entire life came from “pine nuts” apparently if they’re old they will leave your mouth tingling for about a week or more. It was horrifying. I thought I wasn’t going to be okay because it wouldn’t go away after DAYS and I was 11 lol. I’ve eaten them since, but not without the “you sure” from the back of my mind. 😂 They are some of my favorite thing’s I’ve tasted. So fatty tasting and almost juicy when you bite into them. A sunflower seed could NEVER compete.
