Hi, You are almost correct in the above syatement. :-)

Plants are either monoecious, which means they either have male or female flowers on the 
one plant and the flowers are normally fetilized by pollen from a male tree.  ( Some times 
we need to plant 2 female trees and one male tree for fruit production.

And of course the dioecious tree has both male and femalw parts in the flowers and is self pollinating

I hope this helps :-P
