Male and Female Trees – a Complex Truth
In trees, gender is a more complex issue than we’re used to understanding from a human perspective.
In plants, as with most animals, the male parts are associated with production of sperm, and the female parts are associated with eggs. Thus, in angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms (plants with “naked seeds”), the male structures produce pollen (which contain sperm), and the female structures have one or more ovaries (which contain eggs known as ovules).

For some tree species, the matter is relatively straightforward: they bear distinctly male and female flowers on separate plants. This type of ‘gendered’ tree is termed dioecious, a term derived from the ancient Greek for “two households”. Male flowers produce pollen and no fruits and female flowers bear seeds or fruits.

However, most tree species are monoecious, meaning that they bear female and male flowers on the same plant.

Some trees produce what are called ‘perfect’ flowers: they have both male and female parts in a single bloom.
