I have a pine tree in the garden that was grown by my husband from seeds from a cone found in Athens-it is about 30 years old and it is a Greek pine tree. This year I have found two pine cones under the tree and wondered if there are any seeds inside the cones and how I can start off another tree/s any tips please?

if the cones are tightly closed you need to put the cones somewhere dry. they then open up and any seed inside can fall/shake out. then as do botanic says

Shake the cones, soak the seeds in water for 24 hours or so, those that sink are fine to use but I just use them all. Plant in loose soil and leave over winter. I have had pinus seed come up during summer, so temperature changes between night and day play a big part in germination.
