Jack Pine Cones Opened by Fire

Jack pine cones are held closed by a resin which prevents them from drying out and opening releasing their seeds at an inopportune time.  Therefore, fire or high summer temperatures are needed to melt the resin allowing the cones to open and seeds to release.  These cones opened after a fire passed through.
