Default ...what determines where a plant can grow?

Sean,...Are you sure about "dioecious"?

According to

http://medplant.nmsu.edu/buffalo.shtm

"The flowers are monoecious (both sexes are found on the same plant),
which are pollinated by insects."


I'm pretty sure, plants tend to either have fruits on them or not. They
might be polygamodioecious, or sometimes having both flower types.
