Description
A pine cone is an organ of the pine tree containing its reproductive structures. Pine is a genus of trees with about 115 species. While all have pine cones, their size and appearance differ slightly. Male and female pine cones also differ from each other in appearance. The image that most people associate with the pine cone, a woody, scaled structure, is actually the female pine cone. Male pine cones are smaller, more herbaceous, and shorter lived.
The male pine cone is usually no more than two inches (5 cm) long and lives for only a few months in the spring or the autumn, depending on the species of pine. It is covered with microsporangia, or pollen sacs. After it releases its pollen, the male pine cone falls off the tree.
