The seeds are protected from fire behind tightly closed resin-coated scales, often so well insulated that even when the outer part of the cone is charred, the seeds inside are protected. High temperatures cause the cone to open, releasing the seeds that fall to the ground into a cool bed of ash and mineral soil.
