When taking a walk through a forested area, do you ever stop and think about how long it must have taken for that many trees to grow there?

On this YouTube channel, you can find a time-lapse video of a pinecone growing into a pine tree. The video lasts less than two minutes, but in that time, we see 300 days worth of progress. That might not sound like much, but so much growth and change happens during that time. See for yourself in the mesmerizing video below.
“Last Christmas they sold these stone pine cones in the supermarket so I bought one to try to see if I could grow something from the seeds.

Luckily for us all, Box Lapse has already made good on their promise of an update! Check out how much more progress has been made in the video below.
