Fall Color Display
Here is the same group of Ginkgos as above photo, but this time in fall coloration. Clean, clear yellow fall coloration makes a very attractive spectacle in the fall.

Ginkgo Foliage & Fruit
A wonderful shot of both mature Ginkgo foliage, as well as some Ginkgo fruit. This fruit is produced by the female Ginkgo tree - the male produces no fruit at all. Female Ginkgo trees usually begin to produce fruit around their 25th yr of maturity. This fruit drop when fully ripened, and has a very pungent odor to it. The center of the fruit contains a capsule which very closely resembles a pistachio nut in both size & shape. A seed is contained within this pistachio like capsule.
