Luohansong fruit

The gray-blue spherical part of Podocarpus fruit is a real Podocarpus seed, as smooth as a monk's head. The lower part is an inverted cylinder, thicker than the upper part and red, just like a monk with a red cassock on his upper body. This part is called the seed tray.

The blue spherical part is the real Podocarpus seed, and it is very smooth, really like a monk's head. The lower part is inverted cylindrical, thicker and redder than the upper part, just like a monk in a red cassock. This part

This is called a seed tray. The seed holder and the seed together are like a bald monk wearing a red cassock, like the red fleshy part of the red cassock on the monk's upper body.

If you observe it often, you will find that the color of the seed holder changes with time, from green to yellow, from yellow to red, and finally from red to purple-black.

Don't mistake the gray-blue seed for fruit, and the fleshy seed coat-aril outside for pericarp. Because gymnosperms do not bear fruit, they only bear seeds.
