fir cone
Evergreen tree fruit
A fir cone is the woody, scaled seed-bearing structure produced by fir trees and other conifers.
The term is used interchangeably with pine cone in casual speech, though botanically fir cones grow upright on branches and disintegrate while attached: We gathered fir cones for the Christmas decorations.
