DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pine cones grow on pine trees. They are how pine trees reproduce, or, in other words, make more trees. Usually, male and female pine cones are born on the same tree. Typically, the male cones, which produce pollen, are located on the lower branches of the tree.

Detailed explanation-2: -While pine trees grow both male and female cones, the intention is not to self pollinate. Female cones are produced high up in the crown of the pine tree, while male cones (catkins) are produced on the branches below.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conifers are monoecious plants that produce both male and female cones, each making the necessary gametes used for fertilization.
