    What I wonder is what does that buy you, what kind of advantage does it give a tree to do that? It is said the tree was healthy.

    It probably has to do with global warming because I am noticing that I am starting to feel my feminine side coming forward. It's early days but...

    If the tree was male, perhaps it got fed up with squirrels pinching its nuts.

    Not that uncommon for a plant to change sex. I have an Euphorbia bupleurifolia that has changed sex from male to female. I even harvested seeds from it after pollinating it with a male plant.

    So what you are saying is that you pollinated it yourself. Dude, I've heard of tree huggers but that's going one step beyond. I hope you two are very happy together.
