Ginkgo biloba

it is a lovely tree isn't it. I cant remember is the male or the female tree that smells disgusting?

Have you taken your Lizard?? blog down? I was hoping to show the photo to my daughter. She has been in Oxfordshire celebrating her engagement to a lovely young man.

We have one in the garden which has become quite tall now. It is most unusual and its leaves are so lovely.

I love these. 20 years ago I grew some from seed but I've never managed to get them to germinate since.

Interesting to read about the Ginko tree, I have a small one in a pot, it's a cutting from a bigger one that grew in my previous garden. I've repotted it this year so hope it will grow a bit bigger next year.

Thanks Klahanie.

Yes it’s a lovely tree, here’s an interesting fact about the Ginko, when the Atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki many Ginkos survived and over the years seeds have been collected and new trees have been nurtured and planted over here in the uk, I saw this on the news over here a few years back.

I love the Gingko tree esp when they get huge.

What a great informative blog, and as you remark the leaves are so easily recognized.

A beautiful tree, Klahanie. Another fine specimen you have! Love the colour and leaf shape as mentioned by some others. Very interesting and informative blog.
