Pollination Information for First Editions Technito Globe Arborvitae
The First Editions Technito Globe Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis TECHNITO 'BailJohn') is a cultivar of the native American Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis) and is a dioecious plant, meaning it produces separate male and female flowers on different individuals.
The male flowers of the Technito Globe Arborvitae are small and yellowish-green and are produced in late spring. The female flowers are smaller and green and are produced in the same season. The male flowers release pollen into the air which is then carried to the female flowers by wind.
In terms of pollination requirements, the Technito Globe Arborvitae is considered self-sterile, meaning it requires pollen from a different individual to produce viable seeds. Therefore, planting multiple Technito Globe Arborvitae plants in close proximity is recommended for optimal seed production.
It is important to note that while the Technito Globe Arborvitae may produce seeds, the resulting seedlings may not be true to the parent plant and may exhibit variations in characteristics such as growth habit and leaf color.

- Backfill the hole with soil and tamp it down gently with your hands to eliminate air pockets.

Care:
- Water the plant deeply once a week during dry periods.
- Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
