There is a kind of pine whose cone holds onto the seeds inside it until it is exposed to the kind of heat that would result from a forest fire, then it releases its seeds, which will then do well, because they will have lots of sunlight in the clearing that results from a burned-out forest, and the seeds will also derive valuable nutrients from the ashes of the fire. In some species, the cones are a more or less accidental aspect of the evolutionary path of that particular tree. Even though organisms evolve toward efficiency in filling a particular niche, there are also many aspects of evolution which are simply accidental.
All conifers produce cones. All other trees produce their seed by other means.

Do cypress trees get pine cones?
Cypress trees do not produce pine cones; instead, they produce small, round seed cones. These cones typically contain seeds that are dispersed by wind or water. Cypress trees belong to the family Cupressaceae, which is distinct from pines, and their reproductive structures differ from those of true pine trees.
Do ginkgoes have cones?
No, ginkgoes do not produce cones. They are not coniferous trees like pine or spruce trees, which are known for producing cones. Ginkgoes actually produce seeds that are found within fleshy, foul-smelling fruit.
Do Pine trees produce seeds in cones?
yes, they are gymnosperms
What is What pines and fir trees produce instead of flowers?
Pines and fir trees produce cones instead of flowers. These cones contain the reproductive structures necessary for the trees' reproduction, with male cones producing pollen and female cones containing seeds. This reproductive strategy is characteristic of gymnosperms, a group of plants that includes coniferous trees. The cones serve to protect the seeds as they develop and eventually disperse.
What is the term used to describe trees that produce their seed in cones?
