Is cedar a flowering plant?

1. Is it a flowering plant?

Although it is not very common in our daily life, cedar can bloom, and the flowering time is generally from October to November. The flowers it produces are few in number, not very conspicuous, and have no petals, so many people think it will not bloom. It usually blooms at the base of new branches and needs careful observation. It is in the shape of a small yellow ball. If you smell it up close, there will be a faint smell of pine resin, which is relatively elegant and refreshing. If you touch the branch gently with your hand, yellow pollen will fall down.

2. Flower Types

There are two types of flowers of cedar, namely female flowers and male flowers. The female flowers are shaped like fingers, lavender in color, with some spirally distributed beads on them, and many short bracts on the back. They usually become small balls after pollination. They will continue to grow in the spring of the second year and form pine cones with pine nuts on them, which are edible. The male flower is initially in the shape of a small ball, with very short filaments, two anthers inside, and fine teeth on the edges.
