I had an archived NAFEX post, from a similar discussion, back in
1999, from Rick Valley to mIEKAL: I have not actually seen it- but on good authority (and
having seen the original tree where it was first growing) a few years back in
Portland, OR, a construction company had two large jobs going: at one in NE
Portland they took out an old house with a large ginko. The other was a new
building at Reed College in SE. A woman connected w/Reed happened to see the
cut ginko trunk in the company's equipment yard, sprouting. The trunk got
hauled to Reed and stuck in a bore-hole and is growing happily- maybe the
largest dormant cutting in history. -R Rick Valley Philomath, OR From:
nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On
Behalf Of Kieran &/or Donna I've
noticed something weird about ginkgos. Though they supposedly come in
male and female, all the trees at Tech bear fruit. I think that
male-only trees may be rarer than we are led to believe, and that when a tree
gets old enough (15-25 years I have heard) it's likely to start
cropping. So maybe all you need to do is call your county ag agent
and ask him if he's had some complaints about the smell of gingko fruits
someplace public. Another thing you can do is cut long whippy branches
and stick them most of the way into the ground. This is the book
"Herbal Emissaries". I haven't tried it, though I keep thinking
I will. I think you are supposed to cut them in late summer, about 6'
long, and leave only a foot or so sticking out. Donna |
