Technically, the answer may be both. That is, some folks call it a 'pine cone' while others say 'pinecone'.
If you are not sure which to call it, you can alternatively call it a 'conifer cone'.
A pine cone and a pinecone are both a 'conifer cone'. YAY!😉
Where I live, I see pine cones growing in the spring and fall.
The fall is the best time to find good pine cones, depending on where you live.
