Conifer seeds are produced in tiny scale-like things called seed cones or ovulate cones. These are completely different from the yellow, wormlike, pollen-producing cones you shook next to your car. At pollination time, seed cones are so small and inconspicuous that most people never notice them.
Conifers reproduce by means of male and female cones. Male cones produce pollen, and female cones produce seeds. In some New Zealand conifers, male and female cones grow on separate trees.Unlike the seeds of flowering plants, conifer seeds are not enclosed in a fruit but are attached to a cone scale.oliage. All the native conifers are evergreen. They have narrow, needle-like or scale-like leaves, and in this respect contrast with many flowering trees, which are broad-leaved. The juvenile leaves of some are quite different from their adult form.
