Re: Ginkgo biloba
To me, the smell is more like rotting cheese. If it is a female, you might only need to have a male within a few miles to pollinate the flowers and produce fruit. I can never seem to remember but one sex has a solid leaf and one has a split. I think the male has the split, which is what your photo shows...to a bit of an extreme. You can do a google search and know for sure. I have planted a few at my parents' house and they have grown slowly. I have a few more in pots at my house and plan on planting them in the future. I'm not too concerned about fruit. As long as it isn't next to a parking area or my house then I don't care about the temporary stink in the fall when the fruit ripens.
