There are a number of pine in your state that you could use though like Lodgepole Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Shore Pine and White-bark Pine so be on the lookout for those. I would NOT try this method on Fir, Hemlock and especially not Yew. Gretta,

Not sure just how much bark you'd need to eat to get the benefits. Marshall,

Pine bark does contain a good antioxident called Pycnogenol that not only helps the body to assimilate Vitamin C (found in large amounts in the pine needles) but also aids in heart health. Not sure just how much bark you’d need to eat to get the benefits.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. Up here we have a lot of Douglass Fir, Noble Fir, Hemlock, that sort of tree, are Fir trees considered pine trees? In my imagination if it makes a good Christmas tree it would make a good cup o' tea! Is that true? Can I access all the same delicious tree edibles from Northwest pines?

More than once I've been trapped on a beach because I didn't pay attention to tide charts and ended up pretty hungry by the time I was able to get out. Is there actually any nutritional value, aside from the fiber, to eating the bark? Thanks. This is great survival stuff!

True pines are from the genus "Pinus". Unfortunately, based on what I've researched, cypress cones are not edible. Hope that helps. Hi Amy,

Cypress, which is part of the “Taxodium” genus, is actually not a “true” pine although people call it pine in some locations and it bears cones similar to true pines. True pines are from the genus “Pinus”. Unfortunately, based on what I’ve researched, cypress cones are not edible.

Hope that helps.
