The cone or fruit of a cypress or similar coniferous tree, especially the bluish berry-like structure.
From Latin 'galbulus,' possibly derived from Greek 'galbe' or from a root meaning to roll or round, referring to the round shape of these fruit structures.
The galbulus of a cypress looks like a berry but isn't one—it's actually a modified cone, and the bluish waxy coating that makes some cypress 'berries' blue is so waxy that colonists once used it to make candles!
