I have looked high and low for answers, but just about every wording of a google search refers me to these forums, LOL. Surely someone here has enough botany training to clarify? It doesn't seem to be a very good survival strategy for a plant though, after all, it isn't as if they can go to where the boys are. Perhaps MJ is a very old species and just hasn't evolved as well as other plants that are self pollinators?
