Do Giant Thujas produce seeds?

10 years ago

I have many successful ones, 2-4 yrs. old and ongoing. Since they are a hybrid, do they produce viable cones/seeds true to the cross? What would happen if seeds were planted? How long? Any ideas? Thanks for your thought and time.

'Green Giant' certainly produces cones (plenty of them). Never tried seeing if the seeds are germinable, but I'd not be surprised if they were, PROVIDED it was cross-pollinated by some other Thuja clones. It is unlikely to produce viable seed if self-pollinated.

Also, any seedlings that you do get, will not be true to the cross.
