They're pretty but you know they smell horrible and are difficult to keep alive, right? Why not plant a tree native to your area? What's so special about ginkos?

I already have native trees and bushes. I want a ginko. Maybe add a monkey-puzzle and wollemia, so I can call my garden Jurassic Park.

Utter nonsense.

I live on a semi-private pedestrian walkway (as in it's not technically closed off to the public but despite being in an extremely dense urban area surrounded by skyscrapers, most people, even ones who've lived here their whole lives, have no idea we're even here because the two entrances to our terraced courtyard are kinda hidden, one up a flight of steps from a main street, the other obscured by buildings and a pair of hedges from another main street; they had to send a guy with a backpack camera thing to streetview us for GoogleMaps) and some genius a bajillion years ago decided to plant stinkgo trees here. They're the only downside to this otherwise brilliant location (well, that and the Historical Society, Historical Commission and Commission for the Preservation of Landmarks).
Our horrid trees have been here since 1784.

Holy reddit. Not sure if retarded or blatantly spreading misinfo
Ginkgos are impossible to kill. They survived the dinosaurs and nukes being dropped on japan. And if you buy from a commercial nursery you are most likely getting a male branch grafted onto rootstock. Nobody sells females because of the smell and if they do it still takes 30 years to reach maturity anyways.

Sounds like a based tree.
>>5118360
A literal not-my-problem tree that survives nukes and asteroids. I must plant it.
>>5118360
Not everything that /an/ calls reddit is reddit, but you are reddit.

>>5118369
Yes, native plants are reddit

I gathered some... nuts? Fruits? Don't know what these are actually. They smell odd but not unpleasant.
I wonder if I am able to grow trees from these.

Plant native trees. Better for your local ecosystems.

He's already noseblind to it so it won't be an issue

Already have them. Including Dutch oak, V. opulus, the most native of native plants.
But I also want ginko. Ginko is non-invasive. You are being mega reddit. Stop it.

>>5118517
Yassss we have to plant idigenous bipoc native plants to save the ecosystem. If you plant anything non-native you are literally doing a hecking problematic colonialism

If you want a tree (japan) just get a japanese maple. They're very lovely, especially in fall.
I have both in my yard and much prefer the maple.
