Scenes From My Walk - Pinion/Piñón/Pinyon Pine (3 spellings for the same plant) - A favorite of New Mexicans who eat the “nuts” in various dishes or as a snack. The wood is a favorite for fire places as well. Pinyon Jays rely on the tree for a primary food source. Many trees are threatened by the bark beetle which attacks drought stricken trees. Healthy trees’ resin has properties that acts as a insecticide this isn’t secreted when the tree is in drought stress resulting in outbreaks of bark beetle infestations. #ScenesFromMyWalk #PinionPine #PiñyonPine #Piñón #Evergreen Tree #PineNuts #NewMexicanTree #TreesOfNewMexico#MagnificentTree #Naturalist #PhotoBtJeriRae (at Santa Fe Canyon Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjBuWibruHL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
