No, it means that the flowers are "perfect" having both male and female parts of the flower, and do not need another tree of the same type nearby to pollinate it to get fruit.
I am wondering about this issue. I have two other types of nannas and since the literature with it says they can be cross pollinated, that suggests that if I were to hand pollinate them I could use the seeds from the variegated tree to attempt some hybridization. That may make the resulting fruit either larger or better tasting?
I wonder if this has been tried with the edible type Gabe15 mentioned?
