. As for blooming strategy, it was observed that the female flowers bloom before the male flowers of the same individual (protogynous). In the young individual studied, the female flowers were in anthesis, with receptive stigmas, while the male flowers were with the anthers still closed. In the older individuals, instead, while the male branches were with opened anthers and releasing pollen, the female branches were already bearing mature fruits, with the styles fallen off.
