Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Arborvitae 'Emerald Green' (Thuja occidentalis Emerald Green)
Arborvitae 'Emerald Green' is a cultivar of Thuja occidentalis, a species of evergreen tree native to North America. These trees are typically wind-pollinated, meaning they do not rely on insects for pollination.
Male and Female Flowers
Arborvitae 'Emerald Green' trees have both male and female flowers on the same plant. The male flowers produce pollen, while the female flowers contain ovules that will develop into seeds if fertilized.
Pollination Process
During the spring, the male flowers release pollen into the air. The wind carries this pollen to the female flowers, where fertilization can occur. Once fertilized, the female flowers develop into seed cones that eventually mature and release seeds.
Seed Dispersal
Arborvitae 'Emerald Green' trees rely on wind dispersal for their seeds. The mature seed cones open up and release the seeds, which are then carried by the wind to new locations where they can germinate and grow into new trees.
Benefits of Wind Pollination
Wind pollination is an efficient method for trees like Arborvitae 'Emerald Green' as it allows for widespread dispersal of pollen without the need for insect pollinators. This method also reduces the risk of inbreeding within a population.
