Planted 3, they’re absolutely flying with 4” trunks. One is For sure female / hermaphrodite but can’t tell if these are actually male?

That's a male. They flower in cluster compared to others.

Hey Kevin,

Were these trees from the seeds I sent you? If in fact the surviving few are only male please let me know as I’m having another crop coming in soon and we can try again man 👍

Yes, they're from you. Sad to say I'll tear two of 3 I have out of the ground where they're at, but I have 3 more 5 gallons. I wish they would show their gender before I install them but oh well! I maybe will leave the biggest male, but undecided yet as to if that's necessary
