I live in central Calif.,have a Bing cherrie tree, I need to get another one to polinate,my question is there such a thing as a male/female tree?

I have another question along the lines of the male/female question. I rent a home as does a neighbor. The landlord planted a Nashi pear (Asian pear) tree in front of each of our houses 3 years ago. My tree, though still very small (under 3m high), is bearing copious fruit, too much to bear without breaking limbs, so the fruit had to be thinned. The neighbor's, while close to the same size, has no fruit at all. What might be the reason? --Shyland 14:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Got this info from ibiblio.org (don't know if they're correct) : Most Asian Pear tree flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs). They require pollination by insects, or manual pollination.

The rest of the article provides contradictory information (says it likes acidic, neutral, and base soil). One thing it doesn't contradict itself on is lighting. They like semi shade.

You might want to contact your local college's agriculture department. Penn State for example provides a level of ag advice, and has a good site here: http://www.cas.psu.edu/GeneralPublic/Default.html

I have had a couple citrus plants for a couple years, and have just started seeing blooms this year. Maybe your pear tree just not ready?

While trees described are described well, there are gaps.

"Fruits from temperate climates include apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries, berries, grapes, and nuts which are considered dry fruits.[1] Fruits from tropical climates include bananas, pineapples, papayas, passion fruit, avocado, mango, and members of the genus Citrus". Edit - am inserting these new sections as blanks for inspiration.

What about fruit pollination of vines -- kiwifruit e.g. or shrubs -- blueberries e.g. The means are similar, why do we need fruit trees as independent article - especially when we list pineapple - a bromeliad shrub, and bananas - i.d.'d as both tree and shrub - as tropical fruit examples.
