Shine a flashlight sideways to the “suspect”, if you see two very fine white hairs…FEMALE
NO fine white hairs…male.
Female pods are pointy. Male are round balls…in clusters. Ball clusters are obvious long before they burst open spewing millions of seed producing yellow pollen.
There is no question about whether or not it has female parts - It has GIANT buds, LoL. I have just never seen the calyx swollen like this - They look big enough to have seeds in them, but they are definitely empty. I have also never seen a seeded female in person either, so I don’t know what that would look like.
