quote:
ORIGINAL: dreamlady "In the Fortingall Yew it seems that one small branch in the outer part of the crown has switched and now behaves as female," by sprouting 3 bright red berries which have ripened (male yew trees typically have small cones which release clouds of pollen), according to botanist Max Coleman with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. He states that environmental stress may have triggered the sex change, although the tree appears healthy. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/one-of-europes-oldest-trees-is-changing-its-sex/ar-BBmKJ15?li=BBgzzfc&ocid=1PRCDEFE DreamLady yet another example that although xx and xy might be the most common, they certainly don't hold the gender monopoly on the planet..... So what do the berries taste like?, seems a reasonable if hidden sexual innuendo .....
