pine cones
Evergreen tree fruit
Pine cones are the woody, scaled seed-bearing structures of pine trees and other conifers.
The familiar brown, open cones found on the ground are female cones that have released their seeds.
Pine cones close when wet and open when dry—a feature that makes them folk weather predictors.
They appear in autumn crafts and holiday decorations: We gathered pine cones for the centerpiece.
