Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Arborvitae 'Green Giant' Shrub
The Arborvitae 'Green Giant' shrub (Thuja plicata Green Giant) is a coniferous evergreen known for its fast growth and dense foliage. In order for the shrub to produce seeds, it must be pollinated by wind.
Pollination Process
Arborvitae 'Green Giant' shrubs produce male and female cones. The male cones produce pollen grains that are released into the air. Wind carries these pollen grains to the female cones, where pollination occurs. The female cones then develop into seed cones, containing the seeds of the shrub.
Timing
The pollination process for Arborvitae 'Green Giant' shrubs typically occurs in the spring, when the male cones release their pollen. The wind plays a crucial role in dispersing the pollen and facilitating pollination between male and female cones.
Importance
Pollination is essential for the reproduction of Arborvitae 'Green Giant' shrubs. Without successful pollination, the shrub will not produce seeds and will not be able to propagate. Pollination also contributes to genetic diversity within the population of Arborvitae 'Green Giant' shrubs.
