Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Sea Green Juniper (Juniperus × pfitzeriana 'Sea Green')
Sea Green Juniper is a hybrid plant, produced by crossing Juniperus chinensis with Juniperus sabina. It is a coniferous evergreen shrub that does not require pollination for fruit production. The plant reproduces vegetatively, and it is highly unlikely to produce seeds.
However, if the plant produces seeds, they will need to be pollinated for future generations. Junipers are dioecious plants, meaning they have separate male and female plants. Pollination occurs when male plants release pollen, which is carried by the wind to female plants.
Therefore, the presence of a male juniper species in the vicinity of Sea Green Juniper is critical for pollination to occur. Some of the common male juniper species include Juniperus communis, Juniperus virginiana, and Juniperus deppeana.
