I have this huge Seagrape tree but it will not produce fruit without a companion. Can anyone tell the gender by the flower posted here? Thank You!

Perhaps because its not a Sea Grape Tree (Coccoloba uvifera).

Sorry!

I found out this is a Mahoe plant also known as Sea Hibiscus. (Hibiscus tiliaceus)
We took a clipping while camping in Florida. In four years it's grown to around 20 ft tall. The blooms have an unusual feature where they start out yellow in the morning and change to a reddish color in the evening. The leaves are almost identical to The Sea Grape.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. They were in full bloom in early December in Honolulu. They are beautiful trees and yes, the leaves are similar.
