stinky trees?
Hello everyone!
I am new to this site.I am glad I found it! I live in St.Louis Missouri(USA) and around my neighborhood there are a bunch of fruit bearing trees, the fruit it yellow in color and about the size of a cherry. The fruit really really stinks! I guess because alot of it has fallen to the ground and people stepping on them. I am sure they dont smell that bad undamaged. I was just wondering if anyone had any clue to what tree this is. Btw it is a short tree not tall. Thanx! |

Btw it is a short tree not tall. If it smells like dog crap, it is probably a female Ginko tree. They have very distinctive triangular leaves. It is a very ancient tree.

The message
from stltrees contains these words: Travis Wrote: stltrees wrote: Hello everyone! I am new to this site.I am glad I found it! This is not a site it is a newsgroup. AHHHHHH yeah I think it is a SITE what is a newsgroup? I found the SITE through gardenbanter.com another webSITE Gardenbanter provides a portal to usenet, where newsgroups live. You don't see the whole group because gardenbanter moderates posts they don't like. Think of it like this, we're all at home watching TV, with satellite, digital and a remote control which enables us to pick exactly what we want to see. Gardenbanter members are like homeless people standing on the street looking through a shop window at the TV program someone else selected, you haven't got a remote to control your view and can't actually hear the sound track. So you don't even know that Travis sings all his posts in a wonderful baritone. whats with the snip do you have a problem or something? editing replies so that you only reply to the other person's salient point(s) is normal on usenet.

Ginkgo was my first thought! Because of the smell of the fruit, my
daughter's friend used to call them "stink trees." And interestingly, they don't usually start to bear until they're @ 20 years old or so. Suzy O Zone 5, Milwaukee, WI "stltrees" wrote in message ...

Yes, and I would add it is the female of this tree that is the problem. The male has
no such fruit and makes a very nice parkway tree. Sherwin D. Suzy O wrote: Ginkgo was my first thought! Because of the smell of the fruit, my daughter's friend used to call them "stink trees."
