In French, most words ending in "-ier" are masculine, but not all of them. However, if the following table, all the words are masculine, this is because all of these words refer to trees or plants, which are generally considered masculine in French. It's worth noting that in French, the gender of a noun is not always predictable based on its meaning or spelling, and there are many exceptions and irregularities.
