pine cone
Evergreen's scaly fruit
The woody, scaled seed-bearing structure of a pine tree, roughly oval and tapering to a point.
Pine cones open in dry weather to release seeds and close when wet.
They appear in autumn crafts, holiday decorations, and as natural fire starters: We gathered pine cones for the wreath.
Also spelled *pinecone*.
