How to distinguish male and female saponaria trees

To distinguish male and female saponaria trees, you can observe the following characteristics:

1. Observe the inflorescence: The female and male flowers of the saponaria tree usually grow on different inflorescences. Female flowers usually grow on longer inflorescences, while male flowers grow on shorter inflorescences. Observe the inflorescences on the tree, and you can initially judge the male and female based on the length of the inflorescence.

2. Observe the flowers: Female and male flowers also have different flower shapes. Female flowers are usually larger, with wider petals and lighter colors. The male flowers are smaller, with narrower petals and darker flowers. Observing the size, shape and color of the flowers can further determine whether they are male or female.

3. Observe the fruits: Female trees will bear fruit, but male trees will not. Observe whether there are fruits on the tree. If there are fruits, the tree is a female tree; if there are no fruits, it may be a male tree.

4. Identify pollen and styles: If conditions permit, you can identify pollen and styles. Male trees have more pollen, while female trees have longer styles. By taking samples and observing the characteristics of pollen and styles, male and female can be accurately identified.

Please note that the above method is only a preliminary reference for determining the male and female saponaria trees. The most accurate judgment requires observation and identification by professionals. If you need to accurately identify the male or female saponaria tree, it is recommended to consult a botanist, horticulturist or related professionals for advice.
