Observations from the Hinode/XRT telescope and STEREO/SECCHI are utilized to study polar coronal jets and plumes. The study is particularly focused on the time evolution of jets and how they relate to polar plumes. We find that most polar jets are associated with polar plumes. The data sample used for the present study shows almost a one-to-one spatial correspondence between jets and plumes (the inverse correspondence has to be evaluated). EUV images show plume haze rising from the same location of observed polar x-ray and EUV jets with a time delay ranging from minutes to hours. A number of jets occured at the same location of long-lived polar plumes. The latter brightened after the jet eruption. An instance of rapid evolution from a jet to a plume state is also recorded by XRT alone. We believe that x-ray jets represent the early stage of formation of polar plumes and evaluate different mechanisms leading to the formation of polar plumes after jet eruption.
