He says the cost of a case of eggs has surged over 200%, jumping from $67 last month to $225 today. Moshe, owner of Pick-a-Bagel in Kips Bay, has also had to raise the price of his BEC — by 75 ...
The female cones (seed), which mature in autumn about 18 months after pollination, are globose, large, 18–25 cm (7–10 in) in diameter, and hold about 100–150 seeds. The cones disintegrate at maturity to release the approximately 5 cm (2 in) long nut -like seeds, which are then dispersed by animals, notably the azure jay , Cyanocorax ...
Pollination occurs early the following spring, with the male cones 3–8 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long. The female (seed) cones mature in about 20 months from pollination; when mature, they are yellow-brown in color, 15–25 cm (6– 9 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long, and 5–7 cm (2– 2 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) broad, opening to 12 cm ( 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in ...
The cones of the bunya pine are some of the largest produced by the conifer family. The cones—which can grow to as much as 35 centimetres (14 in) in diameter when mature, and weigh up to 10 kilograms (22 lb)—can drop on unsuspecting passersby from heights of 40 metres (130 ft) or more. [ 45 ]
The female cone then opens, releasing the seeds which grow to a young seedling. To fertilize the ovum, the male cone releases pollen that is carried in the wind to the female cone. This is pollination. (Male and female cones usually occur on the same plant.) The pollen fertilizes the female gamete (located in the female cone).

It takes 18 years for the pond pine to reach full maturity. [9] The almost round cones are 5–8 cm (2– 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long with small prickles on the scales. Its cones are usually serotinous, requiring fire to open. [6] The pollen cones are cylinder-shaped with a yellow, brownish color, and are up to 1.8 inches long.
Cones occur in one to five clusters. [4] The cones are strongly reflexed down the branch, 5-to-10-centimetre-long (2.0 to 3.9 in) long; the scales are stiff, thin on the side of the cone facing the stem, but greatly thickened on the side facing away and with a stout 5 to 12 millimetres (0.20 to 0.47 in) spine; both features adaptive to minimise ...
