I got 5 posts that say it's female.
ps you can't pull down the tree's underpants to find out either [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL, I wonder if it could be both? Some plants have both female and male 'parts' on one plant and pollenate themselves (or bees/wind or other bugs do it for them). I don't know much about date palms, so I couldn't say! I'll vote for both or female. Uh, that's two votes, I guess! LOL! [/QUOTE]Lol, fair enough. The original article mentioned that Date Palms are either one or the other, as well as having some other fairly fascinating info (and much longer than the BBC edit of the article Larry posted)
