I've lived here for 20 years and have never had as many fallen pinecones in the yard as I do this spring. It's not just one tree, they're all over the front and back yards. I want to say it's due to the mild winter, but we've had plenty of mild winter in the last 20 years. Probably nothing more than the natural life cycles of the conifers themselves? But if anyone is an amateur arborist, I'd be interested in any theories.
