I have two Sonchafa trees in my pot. but they are not flowering. I am told that there is a male tree and a female tree. I may have a male tree in my pot.
How can I differentiate between a male tree and a female tree?

Normally you can't.
Caveat: I don't know this species in particular, but in all the diecious woody plants I know, none of them can be told apart before they bloom. Unlike mammals, there is no consolidation of sex related genes onto a single chromosome.
(Eventually we should be able to detect differences from sequencing the DNA. Not trivial. Most plants have a lot more DNA than mammals, and the interactions get messy.)
