Some plants have different sex on each trees. Some plants are male, they won't be able to bear fruits, but they are capable to produce pollen to fertilise the female counterparts.
Obviously, female plants are able to produce fruits. Some plants don't have Mr. and Mrs, they are just able to produce both male and female flowers on the same trees.
For papaya, they include all, they have male only, female only, and hermaphrodite. All have different chracteristic --> skinny, sexy or plump?

Male tree/ male flower do not produce any fruit (pic 1). In Indonesia, usually the male flowers are used for cookings.
Female tree / female flower only have stigma (pic 2). From sideway, she looks oval, without any distict curve (pic 4-top). They are capable to bear fruit without fertilisation, but their fruits will deform. They'll be round, seedless, and less fleshy compared to hermaphrodite ones (pic 3). But if they are fertilised, the fruit will be just like normal papaya, elongated shape and contains seeds.

Hermaprodite flowers (pic 5 and 6) consists of both stigma and stamen, a complete kind of flower. See on pic 4-bottom, it has a sexy shape with curvy hips (just like ladyboys, they are always sexier than real women *sigh -__-*) The fruit (pic 7) usually will have elongated shape, thick flesh and of course contains hundreds of little black seeds.
