pinecone

Evergreen's woody fruit

A pinecone is the woody, scaled reproductive structure of a pine tree, roughly oval or conical in shape.

The overlapping scales open to release seeds in dry weather and close when wet.

Pinecones are common in crafts and holiday decorations: We gathered pinecones for the wreath.
