I know an interesting answer to this! Male trees and other plants have been planted much more than female trees for the past 100+ years by humans. This is due to the fact that they do not fruit, and make less of a mess. What happens when you don’t plant any female trees? Pollen spreads everywhere without anywhere to go. That’s why we see trees covered in yellow pollen online. Nature didn’t intend for it to be this way. We just love to disrupt nature, and cause chaos. Some trees are both male and female, so they are kind of superior. Ultimately, we need to plant more female trees!
