Seed cone processing at the Bend Pine Nursery

The Bend Pine Nursery is located on the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains, near 3,500 foot elevation. Weather during much of the cone processing season is typically hot and dry. Seed cone flaring is done in improvised storage and unique driers. The seed extractory uses typical seed processing equipment and procedures. In the four seasons that the extractory has been in operation, seed processing costs have been lower than previous regional averages.
