lavender Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I don't think that there are trees that just produce female flowers but cross pollination will make your trees more fertile. There are still chestnuts around here that have sprouted from the stumps of the ones that were done in by the blight. If you have two that sprouted from seed you have something much rarer. You might be interested in sending these people some samples for identification. http://www.acf.org/ I don't think there is a charge for it..

Sorry, I meant to say that American chestnut trees do not produce female and male flowers on seperate trees (dioecious trees). There are definitly trees that do, the ginko is one of them.
