Do you know that the fruits also have females and males?

Wow.. interesting.. I have not heard that.. Would you give me the link here... i am just crazy to know what female fruits are available in my town.. I am just raring to go.. Take care friend.

Really interesting! I didn't know that they have females and males! Thanks for telling me, now I wonder which belongs to male and which belongs to female.

God has made everything in pairs so there'll be multiplication. Flowering plants of the same species do have genders and to differentiate the male and female is through the flowers. It can either be the colour or the size of the flowers. Like fruits it is normally the size or pattern of the skin that makes the difference.

oh yes..i really dont know about that..thanks for the info..have a nice day

Yeah, it would be very interesting when you say you are picking female fruit.lol I wanna know how.

yes i knew about this a few years back. i still remember from that day onwards, i always go to the fruit market & say to the seller, "please give me some female's (fruit name) because the male ones taste bad." until today i still do the same so i always eat good taste fruits. am i serious?? nah! LOL!

I didn't know it until I have read this discussion of yours then I think. Its true I think as there are male and female flowers, flowers bloom first before a fruit. Fruits can't multiply or reproduce if there are no male and female so its like humans and animals. Its realy interesting.

that is interesting, youless, my son has spoken of this to me before, he is quite an enthusiast of horticultural topics.

Of course they do. Other wise, how would they be able to reproduce? The components to life is all about male and female. They may not look the same when compared to animals or humans, but the male and female components are all there. And yes, female fruits supposedly taste better than male ones. And for some fruits, the male ones are more vibrant in colors.

hi youless! I remember when I was still in school, we studied that the trees are the ones that are considered as male and female. Such as the papaya trees, the male tree can't produce fruits but is needed to pollinate the female papaya tree so it can bear fruits. I just don't remember that the fruits themselves have genders, I guess, I have missed that out in school. lol.. take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

Well; I do know that Plants have this nature and this causes things like cross-pollination . However; I do not have much knowledge on this . Can you share the url of the article ?

yeah i knew that.just like tree theres also male and female but shemale not sure.

And how to know which is the male one and which is the female one? Well htat info you did'nt provide. I think males would like to eat female fruits and females would male fruit. Hmm, seems that a couple gets another factor to have a fight with each other! LOL

Hi Youless..No I had no idea that fruits also have males and females........But I must agree that some fruits taste better than others...........But dear,is there a means to check if the fruit I have picked up is male or female,other than by taking a bite????

Wow it's sure true that you learn something new every day and Mylot is a great place isn't it for learning new stuff. I wonder how you can tell the difference LOL, if you look at a banana for example how the hell do you tell if it's female or male, there are no nobbly bits are there or if one looks like it's moody or lazy it's male PMSL. You sure made me smile my friend!

I didn't know either, how about the nutritional value of the fruit? does it differ with the gender too? would be helpful to learn how to differentiate the fruit so that i am sure that I have the ones that tastes better hehe

Good to know about this. I wonder if I can use this knowledge to some practical use like, which is sweeter, the male or the female? cheers!!

I find that to be bizarre and cool at same time. Who would have guessed? And beyond that who would think to study fruit to see if there were sexes among them? I too will be learning the difference since I do love when fruit has great flavor. Not as easy to find tasty fruit these days...Mamablaze

Well,happy new year youless~ In fact,I didn't hear the saying about the F/M fruit~lol~maybe it shall be,just like our human being~lol~ So then,I will choose the female fruits which taste better.lol~~ One question,before,eating the fruit,how could you distinguish them?lol

i have seen in one website that Fruits are female. Vegetables are male ,but u are telling in fruits only there are 2 genders. i have seen one article in one website : Local vendors in Tiexi District of Shenyang, Liaoning, starting selling fruit “by gender” at the market, charging more for “male” fruits such as tangerines, watermelons, apples, pears, strawberries and tomatoes. They would not say what makes some fruit “male” and others “female”, which prompted local officials to step in and stop the practice. They advised consumers not to be fooled by such a sales promotion. buti don;t know that there are genders in fruits.
