Almost all junipers (often called "cedars") are separate-sexed (dioecious) and each one will be either a male plant, or a female. The female junipers produce juniper berries but NO pollen. The males always produce pollen. For some very dumb reason, modern horticulture has propagated and sold hundreds of millions of male juniper trees and shrubs. In city after city almost all the juniper bushes planted are now male clones. All of them, like the male tree in this video, all of them will release huge amounts of allergenic pollen each year. Often they will bloom twice, in spring and fall, and will shed pollen each time.
These male junipers are a serious health hazard and nurseries should not be allowed to sell them. (In Albuquerque, NM sale or planting of these is now banned per their city Pollen Control Ordinance.)
