Cones

 

The most interesting part of a conifer tree is always its appearance. And besides the magnificent and beautiful way they look, is everything else about them too. Conifer trees, from pine, to spruce, have always been there with us since time began. They are tough hardy trees that can even grow up the sides of cold mountains. They can thrive during blizzards. And every Yuletide, these trees are popular to decourate. Not only that, but the trees give off an aroma similar to food, and its populace of cones scatter the branches and the floor. Now this is what I want to talk about. Cones. 

There are many types of cones. They're as varied as the conifer trees. One can learn about the temperatures just by looking at them. Cones are made of scales and these are shut tight during the wet weather and they open in dry air. Female cones contain seeds. In this, it's believed that pine cones are symbolic of fertility. 

The ancients made stone art of pine cones during the Bronze Age. There are Roman pine cones made of bronze guarded by peacocks. And bronze pine cones in Germany. The staff of Orisis features a pine cone with two serpents. In Scandinavian countries, children make cows from pine cones. These are edible, because pine trees produce fruit and nuts, and also needles that can be made into a tea. People have bakes with pine cones alone. They are full of healing properties and also a detergent.
