Do you need a male and female avocado tree to produce fruit?
No, and the reason is that avocados (Persea americana, P. gratissima and P. brasiliensis) do not have different sexes. All avocado trees are female and can produce fruit without pollination. It’s possible to have a male avocado tree, but it would be sterile. Fruit containing seeds would not grow, and it would be missing an essential part of the plant. These kinds of fruit are still edible, but the seedlings that grow from them will also be male and infertile. This is not an issue if the tree is kept in a controlled environment and it is not pollinated. However, if an orchard is planted and left to its own devices, the males would attract bees and the bees would then pollinate the female trees and produce fruit. This means that the orchard would not produce a good crop of fruit, and the harvest would be much smaller. So when growing an orchard, it is much better to plant only female trees irrespective of whether you need a male or female avocado tree to produce fruit..
