What is the difference between self and cross pollination?
Can plants control which method they use?
Some plants are able to control their pollination method by producing different types of flowers. For example, plants with separate male and female flowers may have some flowers that are only male and some that are only female, which can encourage cross pollination. Other plants are simply dependent on whatever method is available to them based on their environment and the availability of other plants.
