Douglas fir trees produce two distinct types of cones: microstrobili (male cones) that produce pollen, and megastrobili (female cones) that develop into seeds; these structures can be identified by their different sizes and functions, with the female cones being larger and woody while the male cones are smaller and herbaceous.
