Flowers of the olive tree, which are small and whitish, are difficult to see behind the evergreen leaves. Olive trees produce both perfect flowers, with male and female reproductive organs, and staminates that contain only stamens. Olive trees do not need insects for pollination, only wind, and most varieties are self-pollinating. Cross-pollination, the practice of planting more than one olive tree to ensure pollination, is not necessary but it does produce more desirable fruit.
