Some tree species\u00a0are dioecious, that is produce single sex flowers\u00a0(either male and female).\u00a0Male flowers\u00a0produce pollen and no fruits. Female flowers bear seeds or fruits.\u00a0 You may\u00a0purchase male clones to avoid picking up messy seed pods or capsules in the fall. If you are\u00a0allergic to certain tree pollens, avoid planting dioecious male trees.<\/p>\n

Most\u00a0popular of dioecious landscape shrubs are the\u00a0hollies (Ilex spp<\/i>.). In holly world many cultivars (varieties)\u00a0seem to be specially \u201cmarried\u201d to one another. Gardeners may select female plants for\u00a0their colorful fruits in fall and winter. Holly fruits may be red, yellow or white colored depending on the cultivar. Be certain that the correct pollinating variety has been planted nearby the specific female cultivar(s). For example, the male clone ‘Apollo’ will pollinate primarily ‘Sparkleberry’ female hollies.<\/p>\n

Over the years\u00a0male clones of several landscape trees have come to dominate our yards and gardens. Male fruitless types do not\u00a0litter the ground with messy pulpy fruits and seed pods. Ginkgo is one such example.\u00a0Female ginkgoes produce foul smelling apricot looking fruits. When the ripened fruits fall on sidewalks, the area around them reeks a horrible odor. Male ginkgoes produce no fruits and male clones are grafted by nurseries.<\/p>\n

You may run into a third, slightly confusing group are “Polygamo-dioecious” species. This means the male and female flowers grow on separate trees,\u00a0but occasionally produce perfect flowers on each tree as well. Best examples are certain species and\u00a0varieties of Maples (Acer spp<\/em>.),\u00a0Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos<\/em>) and Spicebush (Lindera benzoin<\/i>).\u00a0These maple types produce few or no fruits in most years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
