wdwerker Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Kinda fibrous but not that interesting type of wood. I have a male tree in my front yard . Botany prof in college warned us that the fruit from the female tree smells like the worst locker room X 10, very funky smell.And they are little fruit that rot and get slippery so hard to clean up as well. So I don't blame you for cutting it down but good luck selling the log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 This is going to sound weird to anyone who doesn't know some plants come male and female. Ginkgo is a nice tree but I have never worked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Ginkgo is a living dinosaur of the plant world. The division of plants it comes from has only one type of fossil since the Pliocene era ,ginkgo bilboa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard there is a distant relative, the rockus bilboa... ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beechwood Chip Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 There are a lot of ginkgoes in Philly. It's a softwood, but the leaves and fruit don't look like a pine. Like Steve said, it's the only tree of it's division, and "softwood" is defined as the conifers and the ginkgoes. Around here it's called the vomit-berry tree, because when the fruit fall that's what they smell like. It's pretty awful. You don't want to live near a female ginkgo.
