Eastern White Pine is large, monoecious tree. A monoecious tree has both male and female parts. Thus, if it contains flowers, it could have male flowers and produce pollen, as well as female flowers and produce fruit.

A pine tree has the ability to make pine cones on its own without any help from other members of its species.
