This causes some interesting knock on effects on society:
1. more pollen (as mentioned in the article), leading to more more allergies, leading to more allergy med sales
2. no free fruit growing in the streets for kids/others to eat healthy snacks (visitors to some “old world” towns admire this about them). The fruit “littering the landscape” being the stated reason for not planting female trees, means non biodegradable trash from chip bags and other disposable wrappers litter our cities instead
