Do Trees Have a Gender?

A comprehensive guide to tree reproduction and gender identification.


Trees have different reproductive systems to ensure reproduction, regardless of the species or environment. They may have all-female or all-male flowers, or both male and female parts in their flowers. Fruit trees require proximity to both male and female trees for fruit production. Some trees can change gender over time or due to environmental factors.

Sexual maturity in trees occurs between 1 and 50 years, with some trees featuring both male and female genders or lacking flowers altogether, making gender identification challenging.
