Do trees have a gender?
Before you can understand gender in trees, you have to understand that flowers are the reproductive parts of trees. When a flower on a tree is pollinated, it can produce a fertile seed, which can later germinate and grow into another tree.
There are some tree species in which an individual tree can be called “male” or “female”. Female trees have only female flowers, and therefore are the only ones that can produce seeds or fruit. Male trees have only male flowers, and therefore are the only ones that can produce pollen; they produce the pollen that pollinates female flowers, but they cannot produce seeds themselves, so you will never see a single fruit or seed on a male tree! There are other tree species in which all individuals are both male and female; either their flowers are perfect, meaning that they have male and female reproductive parts in each flower, or they have separate female and male flowers on the same tree.
