A female gingko.
Finding one may be a problem?
Interesting article in the Kew Magazine about their famous big Ginko near
the Princess of Wales Conservatory, supposed to be a male (actually two
joined together) but had fruit on one branch last year, turns out on
investigation that a branch from a female was grafted on decades ago and
forgotten about. So it's actually three trees joined together.
