Description
A pine cone is an organ of the pine tree containing its reproductive structures. Pine trees are only one of the conifer, or "cone-bearing," plants; others include cedars, firs, cypresses, and redwoods. Pine cones, like the reproductive organs of other conifers, come in male and female varieties. In most species of pine, male and female cones grow on the same tree. The trees of some species have cones predominantly of only one sex, with a few of the opposite sex.
The woody, scaled structure, is actually the female structure. Male cones are smaller, more herbaceous, and shorter lived.
Thank you for looking at my Photography!!!
