Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Crimson Queen Japanese Maple
The Crimson Queen Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Crimson Queen') is a deciduous tree that produces seeds through cross-pollination between male and female flowers. The tree produces small, reddish-purple flowers in the spring, which are followed by winged samaras that ripen in the fall.
To achieve cross-pollination, it is important to plant other varieties of Japanese maples nearby, such as the Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' or 'Emperor'. Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are attracted to the Crimson Queen Japanese Maple's flowers and play a crucial role in the tree's fertilization process.
In general, Japanese maples are self-incompatible, meaning they cannot fertilize their own flowers. Therefore, it is important to plant different varieties of Japanese maples to ensure successful pollination and seed production.
It is also recommended to plant the Crimson Queen Japanese Maple in a location with full to partial sun and well-drained soil for optimal growth and pollination. Proper care and maintenance, such as watering and fertilizing, can also improve the tree's overall health and increase seed production.
