reproducing Thuja with branch

ralph_d
11 years ago

I now understand that all Thuja are monoecious. I read that the steeplechase (for example) was reproduced from the brance of a Thuja. I also read that each branch of the thuja will either bear fruit or produce pollen. If that is true, would the branch reproduction be considered a male clone or female clone? Thanks for any help with this subject and terminology. My initial interest was related purely to my privacy screen selection (post on tree forum). Now I am just curious about this entire subject.

Ralph D.
