Pollination Information for Forever Goldy Arborvitae
Forever Goldy Arborvitae (Thuja plicata '4EVER') is a beautiful and compact evergreen shrub that is commonly grown for its striking golden foliage and conical shape. While this plant does produce flowers, it is not a pollinator-friendly plant because it is a cultivar and does not produce viable seeds.
Furthermore, Forever Goldy Arborvitae is a male cultivar, which means it will not produce female flowers, and therefore, will not attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, or moths. Therefore, it is recommended to plant pollinator-friendly plants nearby that can provide the necessary pollen and nectar for the pollinators.
If you are interested in planting other plants that can help with pollination, you should consider planting some of the following:
