Pollination might not be completely out as some plants are not asexual, and need a male/female plant in order to successfully produce fruit e.g. some varities of Pear. Also some do not pollinate indiscriminately (if Ents did, then there would be no Ent couples as the Entings could have any number of fathers), but need assistance, such as some pansies and tomatoes.
