Description
Bald cypress cones don�t actually look like cones at all! Their cone structure is round and about one inch in diameter. When cones appear in autumn, they are tough and green, but they become woody as the season progresses. Each cone is made of a number of scales, and each scale is associated with two triangular seeds. Seeds are eaten by wild turkey, wood ducks, evening grosbeak, water birds, and squirrels. Those seeds that escape predation are dispersed by floodwaters.
