Pinon:
The pi?on (Pinus edulis) is the official State Tree. This sturdy, slow-growing little evergreen flourishes over a vast area of the state.
When the Spanish settlers arrived in New Mexico in the early sixteenth century, they found that the natives harvested the tiny, tasty nuts of the pi?on. Every few years, the pi?on produces a bumper crop of nuts (sometimes referred to as Indian nuts). When the cones of the tree open and drop the nuts, hundreds of New Mexicans scurry to go pi?on picking before the jays steal them.
When the cold weather sets in, the distinctive incense of the burning pi?on logs perfumes the air of villages and towns throughout the state.
The New Mexico Federation of Women's Clubs was asked to select the State Tree, and the pi?on proved to be the historic favorite. On March 16, 1949, the State Legislature officially adopted the pi?on as the State Tree.
