Jim,
They can be either monoeicious or dioeicious - and sometimes, I think they
switch back and forth. M.rubra tends to be male or female, but M.alba seems
to be more likely to be monoeicious.
I have one M.rubra on the farm here that I'll swear on a stack of Bibles had
nice fruit on it two years ago, but last year - only staminate (male)
flowers, and no fruit. Haven't had a chance to check on it this year.
