I found these super tiny pine cones in my DAS while checking on some new growth. I tried identifying them with google image search but it seems to identify them as parasites. In addition to the pine cone structure, there's a very heavy pine scent when pinched. I'm trying to figure out what produces pine cones this small? Seattle, WA area.
They're male (pollen) cones, but not from the DAS; they're from something in the cypress family, most likely a juniper or a cypress. Is either of those growing nearby where the wind could blow the fallen pollen cones onto your DAS?
