My research shows date palms used to have male and female flowers on the same tree, but translocation separated the trees into males and females. You do need a male tree to pollinate a female tree. Pups will be the same gender as the parent.

It is safe to leave the pups on the tree for years, that will yield a better pup for transplanting. The more pups a tree has, the slower they grow.
