A male date tree is a tree that produces pollen, but does not bear fruit. In order for a date tree to produce fruit, it must be pollinated by a male tree. Male date trees are generally smaller and less vigorous than female trees, and are often used as pollinators in date palm plantations. Pollen from the male tree is used to fertilize the flowers on the female tree, which will then produce fruit. Male date trees are an important part of the date palm cultivation process and play a vital role in the production of dates.
