Pollination Information for Calgary Carpet Juniper (Juniperus sabina 'Monna')

It is important to note that the Calgary Carpet Juniper is primarily pollinated by the wind. Unlike some plants that rely on insects for pollination, this shrub does not produce nectar or showy flowers to attract pollinators. As such, placement of male and female plants in close proximity is the key to successful pollination.
