Pollination Info
Old Gold Juniper (Juniperus x pfitzeriana 'Old Gold') Pollination Info
The Old Gold Juniper is a cultivar of Juniperus that is primarily propagated through vegetative means, such as cuttings or grafting, rather than through pollination. However, if you have other Juniperus plants in your garden or nearby, they are wind-pollinated and can potentially cross-pollinate with the Old Gold Juniper.
Cross-pollination may result in hybrid seeds that produce new plant varieties with characteristics that are a mix of the parent plants. If you wish to preserve the characteristics of the Old Gold Juniper, it is best to not plant other Juniperus species nearby to avoid accidental cross-pollination.
In general, Juniperus plants are not reliant on pollinators like bees or other insects for reproduction, as they are wind-pollinated. The pollen travels through the air to reach the female cones of the plant for fertilization.
