    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).

  5. Longleaf pine - Wikipedia

    Due to this deforestation and overharvesting, only about 3% of the original longleaf pine forest remains, and little new is planted. Longleaf pine is available, however, at many nurseries within its range; the southernmost known point of sale is in Lake Worth Beach, Florida. The yellow, resinous wood is used for lumber and pulp.

    Like all conifers, the mountain pine life cycle is dependent on cones. Male and female flowers are found on separate trees [4] – male cones 3-5mm long are at the tips of branches [18] and female flowers grow solo or in pairs and form just below the tips of the branches. [4]

    They contain 80–200 large edible seeds, similar to pine nuts, though larger. The male cones are smaller, 4–10 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –4 in) long, narrow to broad cylindrical, and 1.5–5 cm (1 ⁄ 2 –2 in) broad. The genus is familiar to many people as the genus of the distinctive Chilean pine or monkey-puzzle tree (Araucaria araucana).

  8. Pinales - Wikipedia

    The distinguishing characteristic is the reproductive structure known as a cone produced by all Pinales. All of the extant conifers, such as Araucaria , cedar , celery-pine , cypress , fir , juniper , kauri , larch , pine , redwood , spruce , and yew , are included here.

  9. Pinus monophylla - Wikipedia

    The cones thus grow over a two-year (26-month) cycle, so that newer green and older, seed-bearing or open brown cones are on the tree at the same time. Open cone with empty pine nuts The seed cones open to 6–9 cm ( 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) broad when mature, holding the seeds on the scales after opening.
