Pinon Nut Tree Of New Mexico And Its Trade
Pinon nuts come from Pinus monophyllus across northern New Mexico and Arizona. Harvested in fall, nuts are roasted, parched, and sold to regional merchants. Much shipped to Mexico for cocoa, albayalde, peloncillo, and other goods, supporting local farmers against jay pests. The tree is drought hardy and useful for firewood resin, with historical illumination value fading as cheaper fuels arrive.
