Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Holmstrup Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Holmstrup')
The Holmstrup Arborvitae is a cone-bearing evergreen tree that does not require cross-pollination to produce cones and seeds. It is a monoecious plant, meaning it has both male and female reproductive structures on the same tree.
The male reproductive structures are called staminate cones and produce pollen. The female reproductive structures are called ovulate cones and contain the ovules which will become seeds after pollination.
Pollen is typically dispersed by wind and can travel long distances. The ovulate cones of the Holmstrup Arborvitae are receptive to pollen in late spring to early summer, and seeds will develop throughout the summer and fall.
It is important to note that while pollination is not required for the tree to produce cones and seeds, it can improve seed quality and increase genetic diversity within a population.
