pine-cones

Woody seed holders

Pine-cones are the woody, scaled seed-bearing structures of pine trees, roughly egg-shaped or cylindrical.

The scales open when dry to release seeds.

Pine-cones appear in autumn crafts and holiday decorations: We gathered pine-cones for the wreath.

Also spelled pinecones.
