Very strange. I'd be interested to see a picture of the end of a branch with several leaves on it.Yes. The fruit is long gone.

Working on my trees yesterday. Bumping for the deer hunters... or just those that like tasty treats. It's THAT time of year.If you do, and they are females (fruit producing), you've no doubt found out what a magnet they are for deer (and pretty much every other critter). Shot a nice buck last year directly under my favorite one.The frustrating thing has always been finding a new tree in what looks like a good spot during your spring scouting (or turkey hunting) and not have any clue whether it was a male or female. You may have even read that you can not tell the difference from just looking at the tree and have to wait until they fruit. Pffft! From simple observation I've discovered you CAN tell, with 100% accuracy, once they have blossoms or their buds (spring time).
Here you go.
Male have LOTS of TINY buds and very close together. They are very easy to identify.
Females have far fewer buds (as each contains a potential fruit) and they are much larger and spread out.
And the actual blossoms from the female....
Yeah, this would have been a lot more relevant 5 months ago but still...
I'll try and remember to bump next spring.
LIFT UP THE SKIRT.LOLThat sir is a mighty fine gesture..I need to find out for sure,how to confirm sex of tree.
You Animal!LIFT UP THE SKIRT.LOL
That time of year again.....
Three of mine are about 15ft at least tall, no fruit and it is what it is...The forth was run over with a tractor 5 years ago and came back, it is 4ft..That time of year again.....
