Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Wisconsin Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Wisconsin')
Wisconsin Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Wisconsin') is a dioecious plant, meaning that male and female reproductive organs are found on separate individuals.
Male Wisconsin Juniper plants produce small cones filled with pollen. When the cones mature, they release the pollen into the air, where it can travel by wind to female plants.
Female Wisconsin Juniper plants produce small, berry-like cones that contain seeds. After pollination, the cones develop and ripen over the course of 2-3 growing seasons.
Pollination typically occurs in late winter/early spring when the male cones release pollen and the female cones are receptive. However, pollination can occur any time during the growing season as long as the cones are mature and receptive.
While Wisconsin Juniper is primarily wind-pollinated, it is also possible for bees and other insects to visit the male cones and transfer the pollen to female cones.
