Original Note:
Most of the trees species for which botanical sexism occurs don’t make edible fruit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botanical_sexism. It is not true that planners planted male trees instead of fruiting trees: https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/botanical-sexism-viral-idea-myth.html In fact, many predominately-Black & minority neighborhoods have fewer trees total, both male and female: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/24/climate/racism-redlining-cities-global-warming.html
