Explanation
The answer to the Tree with cones of greater maturity, reportedly is ALDER.
The clue "Tree with cones of greater maturity, reportedly" plays on a pun involving the word "cones." In this case, "cones" are used metaphorically to refer to the shape or form that trees may have at different stages of their growth. The solution to this clue is "ALDER," a type of tree that indeed has cone-like seed structures when it matures.
The "reportedly" in the clue suggests a homophone, where the word "Alder" sounds like "older." Hence, the phrase "cones of greater maturity" cleverly refers to "older cones," alluding to the mature seed structures of the Alder tree. This wordplay combines both the botanical characteristic of the Alder and a pun on the word "older," making it a fitting answer for the crossword clue.
