What are you talking about? What is a "female" fruit? What
makes
you believe fruits have gender? What are you drinking? It may be
time for a change.


he means female flowers, of course... the ones that produce the
fruit. in many plants the flowers are either male or female (any of
the gourds & cucurbits. male flowers start blooming long before
female flowers are produced)
in some, the males are separate plants from the females, so you
don't get fruit unless you have both (hollies & kiwis, for example).
i think you need to knock off the Sam Adams a bit before you make
snarky replies.
