What trees in the Coniferous forest have nuts that squirrels can eat?

The seeds are frequently referred to as nuts despite not actually being nuts. I think that the cones that squirrels are willing to chew through to get to the seeds depends on species of tree, how desperate the squirrel is, and type of squirrel. I remember seeing a video about mice which only chew through pine cones if they were taught to do it by other mice. It may be like that with squirrels too. Anyway, the pine nuts that humans choose to eat are likely also the ones that squirrels are most likely to eat.What trees in the Coniferous forest have nuts that squirrels can eat?
Coniferous trees are gymnosperms that means they produce only seeds and not the nuts. The squirrels feed on the seeds and not on the nuts.What trees in the Coniferous forest have nuts that squirrels can eat?
Look up nut bearing trees and it should give you all the varieties.
don't think they have nuts: they do have pine cones and squirrels eat them
