Pine trees are not seedless. The seeds are located in the pine cones.
Yes, pine cones can rot over time, especially when exposed to moisture and environmental factors that promote decay like fungus and bacteria. The decomposition process of pine cones involves breaking down of the materials they are composed of, such as cellulose and lignin, by microorganisms.
Whenever their hormones start going crazy. Usually when a bear is attracted to another bear, they get a feeling of a sudden need to eat pine cones all the time. If you are missing any pine cones in your centerpiece, check under your couch for some baby bears!
The time between pollination and fertilization in pine trees is typically around 15 months. This allows for the pollen grains to settle on the female cones, germinate, and eventually fertilize the ovules to produce seeds.
To get pine nuts out of a pine cone, you can first heat the pine cone in an oven to help open up the cone and release the nuts. Then, use a nutcracker or pliers to carefully extract the pine nuts from the cone. It can be a time-consuming process, but the nuts can be a delicious addition to recipes once harvested.
on Peters Rd. in hopewell jct. they like to eat the pine cones in Kim's yard. She sees them all the time. There quills are all over and they think they are in the Adirondacks.
The best time to pick elderberries is in late summer to early fall when they are fully ripe and dark in color.
Spring
Unlike other gymnosperms, in which pollination, fertilization, and seed maturation occur within the same year, the pines have an extended reproductive cycle of 14-20 months. (The period elapsed between the appearance of the ovulate cone and the maturation of pine seeds in those cones. Fertilization takes place about 1 year after pollination, and seed maturation takes several additional months). Some seeds are shed as soon as they mature, whereas others remain within the female cones for weeks, months, or even years before being shed.

Around Christmas time, my mother would always have crafts for me and my sisters to do. The two most memorable are stringing popcorn for the tree, and decorating pine cones with glitter and anything we wanted.
