The conker comes in a casing. The casing falls of the tree, opens up and the conker rolls away. An animal, such as a squirrel, will eat conkers and acorns. If the squirrel doesn't eat it then it will store it underground. It buries the conker and fills the hole so nobody will spot it. Unlike dogs they don't have a very good memory. They won't remember where they put their seed so it will grow into a tree.
