HELLO NEED HELP IM CONFUSED

 

Marula has separate male and female trees so fruiting females attract browsing elephants, which cause damage to branches and bark.

Good day al cammers! Very interesting question... According to Dirk it is a male tree. It has round leaves and the shape of the bark is also round where the female tree has more rugby ball shape leaves and bark. It is also the male tree carrying the fruits.

WHICH SEX CARRIES THER FRUIT ???

this is what I found


De Marulaboom groeit vooral in de warme vorstvrije regionen van subequatoriaal Afrika zoals in Noord- en Centraal Namibië en de vrouwelijke variant geeft zelfs bij minimale regenval een rijke oogst.

It is the female tree with the fruit

Alf, I agree.  This has me confused also.  Females have the fruit and males don't!  Why is our male producing fruit!!!  And those legs!!!!Laughing  I can't help myself...every time I see that picture, I see girl legs!!!!
