Uncovered Seeds

Uncovered seeds are called gymnosperms. There are four groups of gymnosperms but coniferphytas have the most. Coniferphyta means cone bearer plants.I learned that pine trees have uncovered seeds and they are gymnosperms.

We have five big pine trees close to our house. They are green even in the winter because they are evergreens. When we walked to the trees, we picked up pine cones by the trees. They were old ones which we could tell by looking at them closely. They were brown and rotting. We saw some little new cones on the trees on the tips of the branches.



You can see tiny pine cones on the tips of the branches if you look closely.






Here are Philip and Peter standing by a Christmas tree someone planted years ago.


There were plenty of cones still up in this tree.
