Seemed like I was always hitting cones with a mower. This year I was looking for cones and not one to be found. I know that white pines lose 1/3 of their needles every year. Is there also a year when they don't produce cones?

Cones from white pines?

Last year my yard was littered with pinecones and acorns. This year nary a one, hardly! Trees have off years for production, I guess this is the year.
Most trees have some periodicity to seed production, and part of this is genetic, part is energetic, part is a function of individual maturity and part is environmentally derived. In short, we expect to see fairly dramatic heterogeneity year-to-year in seed production in most species. Just the way the forest works...
Because liberals are born losers and just don't realize it.
