The term pollen source is often used in the context of beekeeping and refers to flowering plants as a source of pollen for bees or other insects. Bees collect pollen as a protein source to raise their brood. For the plant, the pollinizer, this can be an important mechanism for sexual reproduction, as the pollinator distributes its
Calocedrus decurrens is a large tree, typically reaching heights of 30–40 meters (100–130 ft) and a trunk diameter up to 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in). The largest known tree, located in Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California, is 47.98 m (157 ft 5 in) tall with a 12 m (39 ft 4 in) circumference trunk and a 17.5 m (57 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) spread.

The trees' pollen cones appear in April and mature in September or October. [17] The cones require fifteen months to mature, [18] and the cones fall 17 to 18 months after pollination in late January to early March from the coast to the current Bunya Mountains. When there is heavy rainfall or drought, pollination may vary. [19]
Pollen of T. populnea viewed under a light microscope. The Portia tree reaches a height of 6–10 m (20–33 ft) tall and its trunk can measure up to 20–30 cm (7.9–11.8 in) in diameter. [20] It grows at elevations from sea level to 275 m (902 ft) [21] in areas that receive 500–1,600 mm (20–63 in) of annual rainfall. [10]
Other studies determined that seedfall in clearcuts beyond 80 m (260 ft) from seed trees was about 3% of seedfall in uncut stands where seed trees are close together. Well-stocked stands have resulted from seedfall from sources 1–2 km (0.62–1.24 mi) distant, but most Douglas-fir seeds fall within 100 m (330 ft) of their source.
Each is unique, but male trees produce more pollen and less flowers, which seems to be the preference when trying to keep tree litter to a minimum. This idea to keep streets clean leads to the ...
The very air seems to be in league with the trees, carrying their pollen far and wide, leaving many Oklahomans searching for relief. But fear not, for the board-certified allergists at OAAC are ...
Pollen itself is not the male gamete. [4] It is a gametophyte, something that could be considered an entire organism, which then produces the male gamete.Each pollen grain contains vegetative (non-reproductive) cells (only a single cell in most flowering plants but several in other seed plants) and a generative (reproductive) cell.
