What? Trees have genders? I guess I learned something new!

News to me too… And I think it might be wrong but I don’t know enough to say with confidence.

how I thought it works is that trees have male and female parts, but a single tree can have both parts. And some trees can self-pollinate.

My uneducated guess is that it depends on the species, some are sexed and some are hermaphrodite. That’s how it goes in the animal kingdom.
