Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Sea Green Juniper (Juniperus × pfitzeriana 'Sea Green')
Sea Green Juniper is a hybrid plant, which means it was created by crossing two different species of juniper. As such, it is not able to produce viable seeds on its own and requires the help of insects for pollination.
The male cones of juniper plants produce pollen, which is dispersed by wind and insects. The female cones receive the pollen and fertilization occurs, leading to the development of seeds. In the case of Sea Green Juniper, the plant produces both male and female cones, which means it is able to self-pollinate, but cross-pollination can still occur through the help of insects.
The most common insects that pollinate juniper plants include bees, flies, and beetles. These insects are attracted to the plant's flowers and cones, which produce nectar and pollen. When an insect visits a female cone, it may also pick up pollen from a nearby male cone and transfer it to another female cone, facilitating cross-pollination.
Overall, Sea Green Juniper relies on insect pollinators for reproduction and the production of viable seeds.
