In pinus species male cone matured earlier than female cone because it male cone producing more pollen grain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pinus species don't have flowers who has nectar and pollen. Pine trees can’t attract bees and butterflies for pollination. Wind play vital role for pollination in pinus species tree.

The male cones produce producing pollen grains, which drift to the female cones on other trees. After few years mature the non-fertilized female pine cone mature to become the woody cones
