Young female cones of a maritime pine tree (Pinus Pinaster) after pollination. Jeunes cônes femelles d'un pin maritime.
Young female cones of a maritime pine tree (Pinus Pinaster) after pollination. Self-fertile and having the male and female cones on the same tree, pines rely on the wind to spread their pollen grains from their male sexual organs (cone) to their female ones. Jeunes cônes femelles de pin maritime (Pinus Pinaster) après pollinisation. Auto-fertiles et ayant les cônes males et femelles sur le même arbre, les pins comptent sur le vent pour répandre leurs grains de pollen des organes sexuels mâles aux organes femelles.
