Female and male cones are on different branches on the same tree. Female cones ellipsoid to globose, 6-8.5 x 5.5-6.5 (- 13) cm; seed scales 30-40 mm long, roughly triangular in shape with a well rounded apical margin.Male cones oblong, straight, ultimately 3-4 cm long, 10 mm across, sessile or with up to 4 mm long peduncles;microsporophylls up to 2 mm across, with rounded apex. Male cones change from light green to brown when they are mature and pollen is released.
