I’ve rarely seen Noble Fir cones lying on the ground, so was really pleased to come across this one lying not far from the Noble Fir tree. I really like the structure of these with the seeds and the rougher bracts. It was only when I was looking at this in more detail that I realised that it is the female tree which produces cones.

Now that’s what you call a #FirCone!
This is from the #NobleFir which grows in the woodland at #WWTCastleEspie.
Apparently the #squirrels love them.
