Once it is woody and dry, the pine cones open into that nice looking shape you find on Christmas tree decorations etc. The seeds are released out of the cavities that are revealed on opening. They are winged and very light, and fall out easily. Typing 'pine cone seeds' into google images will give you a good idea of what they look like! Hope this helps, Irene Hi Cindy,
