Q: I was under the impression that there are male and female plants. So the plant will only fruit with both? And are yours specified?--I assume not. Would it be necessary to buy at least 3 plants to be sure to get both. Any way to be sure to get both?

Asked by: KA - 3/26/2019

A: They aren't male and female, but clones from the same plant will not produce fruit. You need two plants with different genetics. Our plants are not clones, so any two plants planted together will get pollinated and produce fruit.
