@Giles:

That Gingko fruit smells really, really bad when it falls…..

Not ours it is a male tree and would be to young to have fruits too

There are some streets in Yokohama that are lined with them.  They look beautiful, but in late summer the smell is gag-making…..

Thanks… black pine. I like the pines. There is a Japanese White Pine right of the lantern and the large tree on the left is a Himalayan ceder, the huge one in the back is a Hornbeam about 40 to 50 years old

I always wanted a Gingko tree until I smelled the fruit from one.

When we were doing some landscaping, I had mentioned my want of a Gingko tree, but couldn’t stand the smell of the fruit.  It was suggested I try a Katsura tree, which in the fall gives a faint caramel smell.

We did and are very happy with the results.

Wonderful tree the Katsura, like it when the leaves become red… but it is really only the female Ginkgo trees that have the awful fruits

@Chap Hope all is well!  I did not want to take the chance with a Gingko being female and finding out only too late, as I was under the impression that the trees were difficult to sex until they were more mature.

I love the shape of the Gingko leave and still think about putting a tree in somewhere (often near my neighbours yard).
