Question: In what season do you harvest pine needles?
Answer: The Fall. It has been found that October and November are usually the best months to harvest straw as it is when you will harvest the most in the best condition. Dry weather usually accompanies these months which make harvesting easier.

Remember that pine trees grow in height during the spring and summer. At these times they are also growing pine needles with very little tendency to shed.
