My shoes smell of gingko fruit.

[Critters2]

I have a gingko tree in my front yard, that some idiot planted decades ago. I try not to even walk in my front yard when it's dropping seeds. This evening, the paper carrier left the paper out in the yard, instead of on my porch (probably trying to avoid the gingko himself). So, I went out to get the paper. Now my shoes stink.

Why on God's green earth would anyone plant one of these things!

1. Any number of reasons, unless they were trying to save money on extracts

;)

Ginkgo Biloba can improve memory function. There are some other benefits, but I only know it for improving short-term memory. It does work in that regard, so you might research how to go about harvesting the leaves for making extracts.

Here's a pretty extensive site about the tree and its uses. It also looks like the previous owner didn't know that it's only the female trees that have stinky seeds

2. Gingko trees are dioecious. Get a boy tree.

I have a girl mulberry tree in my back yard. Birds eat the mulberries and poop purple all over.

4. And put some pants on it, for god's sake

The last thing we need to see is your tree standing around with a woody.

3. Get a pair

of cheap slip-ons that you can use when you have to go into the yard. We have to do that here because of our free-ranging chickens. :think:

5. I thought they were FedEx now?
