Female pinecones are located higher on the tree to enhance their chances of successful pollination and seed dispersal. By being positioned above male cones, which produce pollen, female cones can more effectively capture pollen carried by the wind. Additionally, being higher up can help protect the developing seeds from ground-level predators and environmental disturbances. This strategy ultimately increases the likelihood of reproductive success for the tree.
