If pine cones are a cash crop, I'm in the proverbial catbird seat

[EYESORE 9001]

I estimate this 50-ft tree has over 2,000 pine cones in various stages of growth.

1. Looks like a Norway spruce or thereabouts

Yes cones are sold for decoration, and for craft raw materials. Exceptionally large and straight ones can be cast inside clear epoxy for hunting knife or other handles.

Check to see what they fetch on sell it sites - Etsey, eBay, and the like.

2. Those are some big ass pine cones!

People do pay for those things. They use them to decorate and some people burn them in their fireplaces. A lot of times I've seen people put them on their hearths. So yeah, you can sell them. I don't know how much you could get for them, but they do have value.

3. Same here, EYESORE 9001. There are so many on my tree, that it is beginning to tilt.

4. Back in the day, my uncles painted sweet gum balls white with blue dots

and sold them to tourists as porcupine eggs.
