I was going to ask if it was from California. We have big pine cones here. Also, the bark of the trees, with the really long pine cones, smells like vanilla.
They sell those in home hardware in Canada for $10 each with a sharpened dowel in them as decoration for Christmas. I just got 2 lol. Stupidest thing I've purchased but I like biodegradable decorations.
Pinecones are kind of like fruit on other trees. They're full of little seeds. The seeds can grow new trees and birds with beaks made for getting into the cone like to eat them too!
You are totally right! I looked it up. Had no idea what type this was. I was just in awe when I found it. This was found pretty far north in Cali so at the top of its range from what the map shows.
I'm a secondary art teacher. My teaching partner has 15-20 of these that she got from a tree that grew in her neighbours front yard. The city made them chop it down cause they would grow that size on the tree and then eventually FALL DOWN! They're heavy and spiky. Could easily have killed someone if it feel on them. We use them once every other year now to do sketching. They're crazy!!
I didn’t even think about that. What a day ruiner this bad boy would be. It is hefty just picking it up. However, I feel a few more dangerous trees would keep people on their toes and off their phones.
Looks like a Coulter Pine cone! They produce the largest pine cones of any pine tree, absolutely wild. Mount San Jacinto State Park, right by Palm Springs, has a ton of them, if you're keen on seeing them in the wild!
Kick it down the street until it inevitably goes just far enough off to the side that it isn’t worth going out of your way to continue kicking it and continue going with your head hung in shame because you just kicked your only friend into the grass that you know for a fact dogs poop in and the owners dont clean it up
I was going to call shenanigans, thinking it was just a small banana, but then I realised there were more photos and you are correct that is a large pinecone
Check out Tobin Mitnik on IG, at @jewslovetrees. He has a great “casual pinecone reviews” that involve Coulter pine cones! Also, just, good wholesome hilarious content.
I found this pinecone near a lake in California when I was 10. I love it and I have treasured it ever since.

Coulter pine in case you were wondering!

I waited until I had bananas to take a picture and post. Lol.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
That there's a big un
I thought that was a textured clay mug with a yellow handle
Do these things like plant trees n that? That cunt would sprout a fucking belter.
That doesn’t sound right but I don’t know enough about trees to disprove it.

I read that and thought "Tell me youre Scottish without telling me youre Scottish" 😂
Yeah these pine cones sprout some absolute units. The California pine trees these things make are enormous. Camped around them a lot as a kid

Now I see where pineapples get their name
Pinus coulteri, would love to see one in person someday.

When I was a kid playing war with all my friends, pine cones were grenades.
I remember we used to play pine cone wars which turned into rock wars which turned into somebody getting hurt.
I mean if your brave enough just makes sure it goes in the right direction.
Look at this tiny banana! Pinecone for scale!
Thanks for the ruler shot. I was growing really suspicious about the size of that banana or your hand, hehe.
It needs its own little stand or pedestal so you can display it!!
Holy shit! My daughter would lose her mind. She loves pinecones lol
Julian, California. I send them to people in Texas for Christmas decorations.
I was going to ask if that's where this is from! I have like 6 of these huge ones from Julian sitting on my front porch! monstrous things
Pineapple sized!

Where I’m from, they call these widow-makers (not joking)
Bananas vary GREATLY in size, so for scale you should use a dollar or something that is typically the same size. I can’t tell how big it is.
What if you leave your dollars in some pants and they get shrunk in the laundry?
soak it with alcohol and light it on fire throw it fast tho
Nooooo! This is one of my most prized possessions.
Need a second banana for reference
I thought this was a pine cone mug
That's a weird looking mug
My three and a half year old is obsessed with pinecones. I thought of him right away and know he would love if we found one like that 😂😂
da banan too smal
Everything is measured with bananas in Reddit
Looks like a Coulter Pine cone! They produce the largest pine cones of any pine tree, absolutely wild. Mount San Jacinto State Park, right by Palm Springs, has a ton of them, if you're keen on seeing them in the wild!
I just thought of a new sub --
Alion egg!
I have several around that size or bigger. Picked them up when visiting family in PA
That’s a tiny banana
Yeah, but how big is your banana?
Banana for scale
I thought that was a cup for a second
Coulter Pine…aka widowmaker
My man!
I thought this was a super cool novelty coffee mug at first.
Oh lawd he inanimate
Is the banana for scale?
How did you find such a small banana and measuring tape?
This looks like chocolate and is making me hungry.
Kick it down the street until it inevitably goes just far enough off to the side that it isn’t worth going out of your way to continue kicking it and continue going with your head hung in shame because you just kicked your only friend into the grass that you know for a fact dogs poop in and the owners dont clean it up
...I'm pretty sure you just found a tiny banana...
You shouldn’t do this, BUT if you put the pine one up your butt and get an X-ray of it in the emergency room, you could get extra Reddit karma.
Banana for scale
That is one small banana
First picture looks like a weird pinecone mug
How big is the banana ?
Ah i see, its I mini banana
That’s a tiny hand and banana
Holy shit, imagine the size of the pine nuts in there!
Looks like a Coulter Pine pinecone. I had one in my back yard when I was growing up
I thought this was a pinecone shaped ceramic coffee mug with a banana handle and got really excited and now I want one. Lol
We have a giant one like that from Palomar Mountain!
How big was the tree?
Holy fuck!
I’m American and I can confirm it looks approximately 4 hamburgers in length
I was going to call shenanigans, thinking it was just a small banana, but then I realised there were more photos and you are correct that is a large pinecone
They call those “widow makers “
For a moment I thought this was a silly coffee mug you found with a banana shaped handle
Imagine the Xmas decoration you could make for next year
That's a banana
Yeah right. That’s a super tiny banana. Probably one of those ‘runts’
How big is the banana, can we also get a microwave just to make sure we know the scale of the banana
The tree you found that under isn’t one you would want to park under. Or stand under in a wind storm, or ever.
I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've seen a legit "banana for scale"
Tiny banana prospective
That's one small banana and hand
Everybody else: talking about where it came from Me : M U G
That is the smallest banana I have ever seen!
Disguise it as a pineapple and put it out for people at gatherings Ask them to slice it for you
What’s the thing next to the pinecone in the last photo. I understand the banana and hand comparison but what is that thing
It’s a baby’s foot in a sock. I was going to put the pinecone next to the baby but it wasn’t working that well so I just got a ruler.

That is the queen cone, from which all other cones are born.
turn it into a trophie
That shits not even a pinecone anymore that’s a pineAPPLE with the sheer size
A kid in my botany class asked if spruce trees made pine cones. Swear the teacher was that disappointed footballer meme in the flesh.
Could be an infant holding a tiny banana, we'll need more evidence... /s
Smallest banana
I mean I can kinda see why it’s called pineapple now
Anything’s a dildo if you’re brave enough.
Or a very tiny nanner
That looks pretty big sitting next to that piece of Runts candy!
pineconeapple
I found a bigger pinecone the size of my head once
Hears what you gotta do:
That things gunna spread so much seed
Big beautiful pinecone OP
Im sorry but, what the hell would OP get out of lying about the size of a pinecone on reddit.
