can we not plant all male trees while we’re at it?
Unfortunately, those decisions are driven largely by the public’s phobias of fruit and seed litter coming off of trees.

Unless people are willing to accept “messier” streets or pay more for cleanup, I predict that the dominance of male trees will continue.
