These measurements were carried out with the aim of expanding knowledge of the poles of sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) and ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba). The acquired knowledge could be very useful for choosing a plant of the right sex with the editing of green areas in cities as well as in the production of medicines. Methodology: Plant sex was determined using well known fluorescence method. The fluorescence spectra emitted from the green plant leaf was used as a tool for determination plant sex and consideration the leaf ordering and information I (bit/s) which plants sent to environment. Fluorescence spectra were analyzed using mathematical software PC. Conclusion: The amount of information emitted in the environment is specific for male and female individuals in both plant species. This specificity could be found in practical application in the horticulture and pharmaceutical industry.
