The pinyon or piñon pine group grows in the southwestern United States, especially in New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. The trees yield edible nuts, which are a staple food of Native Americans, and are widely eaten as a snack and as an ingredient in New Mexican cuisine. The name comes from the Spanish pino piñonero, a name used for both the American varieties and the stone pine common in Spain, which also produces edible nuts typical of Mediterranean cuisine. Harvesting techniques of the prehistoric American Indians are still used today to collect the pinyon seeds for personal use or commercialization. The pinyon nut or seed is high in fats and calories.
Pinyons are among the most extroverted and energetic of all pine species wands. Their owners are likewise extroverted and energetic and are early risers. They tackle problems head-on and may leap into other people's problems without thinking it through. A savior complex drives them to do so– they don't even think to ask the person or people involved. They are desperate to help, but they may cause their own problems or drama by doing so. Their intuition and personal charm allow them to navigate most social circles with ease. Though they are extroverted, it is difficult for them to become part of a clique or group. Their powerful insights contrasted with their emotional outbursts are too intense for most people to handle for long periods, and the owner recognizes this and moves on when they deem it necessary.
It often feels like there are two sides to their personality, and they have trouble with having people take their insights and statements seriously. They also grow and reach new levels in their academic and other goals rapidly– to them, a light bulb just goes "on" and away they go. This confuses other people, and the owner may be accused of cheating or of being deceitful as a result.
