A few weeks ago we took a long neighborhood

walk and I spotted an evergreen hedge that

had some little round multi-faceted green "nuts/cones" on the ends of some branches.

  I picked 3 and brought them home

to see what would happen if I put them out in the sun.

 The birds, the rabbits and the squirrels ignored them.

Then they began to turn brown and began to open.

I could see little seeds inside them.

One disappeared and I spotted this squirrel eating one.

You can see the last one on the brick in front of the owl.

I should have taken a close up photo but darn I did not.

Now I will have to try and remember where I 

found them on our 90 minute neighborhood wander.   

I want to know what the plant is called.

Tried googling "round multi-faceted nut" .

But got nowhere. Any ideas out there? 

The evergreen bush looked sort of like an Arborvitae.

But the "nuts/cones"on Arborvitae look different.    

Have a lovely day !
