Isn't there any number of fruit trees who need to have a 'male' planted somewhere near them for them to bear fruit? Maybe I can think of them when feeling a little less woozy. PvR d buebly schreef ginkgo Actually this was just what I did think of but did not want to say. Opinions vary if this is a useful 'fruit'. The Chinese like it, but in Western cities there is a proscription to planting female trees because the 'fruits' have a reputation of smelling badly. I have heard of cases where female trees were planted in busy streets but nobody noticed the 'fruits'. Perhaps these only smell badly in (sub)tropical araes where they will rot more easily? Also Ginkgo's are gymnosperms and thus do not have true fruits! ;-) PvR |
