The fruit is a greenish achene with seeds bearing feathery anemophilous filaments. These plants are hermaphroditic, with anemophilous or hydrophilous pollination. A few are wind pollinated (anemophilous). Adults of this species feed on pollen grains from anemophilous species of plant. It is suspected that the extension was involved in anemophilous pollination. Anemophilous flowering plants generally have inconspicuous flowers. Anthers on the tassel dehisce and release pollen, which is dispersed by the wind (anemophilous). Almost all pollens that are allergens are from anemophilous species. It is suspected that the extension was involved in anemophilous (wind) pollination. The anemophilous groups within the Hamamelidaceae are often andromonoecious. Female flowers are grouped five by five, and pollination is mainly anemophilous. The plant is thought to have been anemophilous (pollinated by wind). Pollination is probably myiophyllous, even though "Tetracentron" shows a clear anemophilous syndrome. Anemophilous pollens may also be inadvertently captured by bees' electrostatic field. The root system is a taproot and this plant is anemophilous.
