I've only got females on my pickling cukes right now as well. However, my other cuke (I have no less than ten of them in a staggered planting) there are some males coming, so I'm not worried about it quite yet. Marketmore cukes Pickle cukes EarthBox planting Upside down cukes It's also my understanding that any male curcubit blossom will pollinate any female. So if you dont have male cuke blossoms, but do have, say melons, squash, gourds, etc....., then that should suffice

Whoa, that`s amazing, my old thread popping back to life again. @gardengal: thanks for those cultivar names. I looked them up, according to my (very good) tree book, Autumn gold and Princeton S grow less tall (about 15 - 20 meter) than the plain species (20 meter -30 meter). plans changed, we planted just one Ginkgo (a seedling) which now just needs to keep growing. I looked up the link of the "plants for the future"-site, but as those folks seem rather into "saving the world" and "grow your own" I reckon their detailed botanical knowlegde might be not too scientific, kind of (the angle of branches are often an indicator of age, like: steep angle with juvenile trees, wider angle with mature...IME) inspired by all yous answers I did read up some more on the internet: to summ it up: 1) so, differences between young male or female seedlings in morphology don`t seem to exsist 2) as trees take decades to mature and flowers there are stories around of "transvestite" trees 3) shape of leaves varies very much, not only between different trees but even on one plant that link seemed to offer very solid information solid Ginkgo information and that short one from 1983 seems to be also very well based (have trouble linking that pdf, click the Joa-arboretun-link) Growth, survival and sex expression well, thanks a lot, have a nice week, bye, Lin

Hello, anyone out here could tell me based on the pictures on my links here, this is a picture of the tree and its leaves with the male flowers, perhaps? The flowers has strong odors.
