male plant
Botanical term for a plant that produces male flowers or pollen. Often contrasted with 雌株 (めかぶ, female plant).
See also: 雌株
This male plant produces a lot of pollen.
Planting male and female plants close together makes it easier for fruit to set.
Compound of 雄 (お, male) and 株 (かぶ, plant stock/stump). The reading お is a native Japanese prefix for male, and かぶ refers to a plant base or clump.
