They had some of these near my school. They screwed up and planted female ones (I think) and they were supposed to be male (again, I think). The ones they planted flowered, and the ones they were supposed to plant did not. These things dropped the most absolutely foul smelling fruit, or.maybe it was flower. Not sure. There would be little Asian ladies collecting them to sell as supplements. My God, it was such a nasty odor. It smelled like a gas leak mixed with putrid farts. If these are those kind of gingko trees, good riddance.
