Answer:
It's not often that a scientist reaches into fantasy literature for the perfect analogy.
“Usually trees take a long time to respond to their environment,” botanist Jennifer Blake-Mahmud said. “Remember the Ents in 'Lord of the Rings'? It takes them a long time to say anything in Entish!”Some things — or people or Ents — just don't want to rush it. Most trees don't rush anything, especially when it comes time to bloom. A lot of trees have some type of flower, which contains their sexual organs. The showier plants, such as cherry, magnolia and dogwood, flaunt their sexuality. But for many trees, you can barely notice or see their blossoms. All this blossoming usually takes months to fully develop, sometimes as long as 11 months, but it's usually set in motion during the winter for their spring appearance.Only when the trees bloom can you figure out their sex. Lots of trees are hermaphroditic — that is, their flowers contain both male and female reproductive parts. Other species have male trees and female trees, which you can tell apart by looking at their flowers: The male reproductive parts are the pollen-laden stamen; the female parts their egg-holding pistils.
