How can i get pine cones to germinate?

Question

I have many pine cones in my yard and i would like to germinate them and plant them along my tree line to help provide more shelter from the heavy winter snows.

Answer 1

try to learn the type of pine you have...... some require a burn to open...............

Answer 2

you got to dry it out first until the whole cone opens and take the seed out of that cone.  And store them in the fridge ( not freezer) for 120 days( as I could remember).  Then plant it again in next spring.  IF you don't put in fridge to freeze the seeds up, you wouldn't get any baby pine tree at all by planting from seeds.

Why not you used directly propagation by heels but that need experties skill.
