You've just never looked... the red ones are the female flowers, which develop into the comes.. the lower down, larger, catkin things are the male flowers.. which produce millions of pollen spores that blow in the wind.. polinating the females!
It's a pine.. (Scots pine... I think)

Yes, definitely a pine and I, too, think it is probably a Scots pine but there's something about the denseness of that foliage that makes me think it just might be lodgepole pine.
Start noticing tree flowers! I think my favourite is the larch

Jeekers! I thought the catkins were juvenile cones. Thanks Quercus & Apodemus.
