Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Arborvitae Green Giant (Thuja plicata Green Giant)
Arborvitae Green Giant, also known as Thuja plicata Green Giant, is a popular choice for landscaping due to its fast growth rate and dense foliage. When it comes to pollination, Arborvitae Green Giant is primarily wind-pollinated.
Wind Pollination
Arborvitae Green Giant produces small male and female cones on the same tree. The male cones release pollen grains into the air, which are then carried by the wind to the female cones for fertilization. This method of pollination is efficient for trees that are densely planted together, as the wind can easily carry pollen from one tree to another.
Self-Fertilization
While Arborvitae Green Giant is primarily wind-pollinated, it is also capable of self-fertilization. This means that the tree can pollinate itself if necessary, although cross-pollination with other trees is still preferred for genetic diversity.
Cross-Pollination
In order to promote cross-pollination and ensure a healthy gene pool, it is recommended to plant multiple Arborvitae Green Giant trees in close proximity to each other. This will allow for the exchange of pollen between different trees, leading to stronger and more diverse offspring.
