Okay, yeah, no credit goes to me, go to the guy's Twitter and give him some love.
No nudes necessary. I'm a Legend of Zelda addict, though. Send me your Zelda stuff.

Ginko tree: "Look out below!-ba"

Hair trigger on that thing

do you live on shakedown road?

So this is what happens when you tell someone to "make like a tree and leaf".
OfMiceAndBananas
Ginkgos are actually very interesting in that they lose all of their leaves in a span of about 24 hours. They don’t fuck with this fall shit

I'm sorry, it's been so long, and you're so hot. This never happened before. -The tree, probably

Ginkgo biloba? That leafs makes a good and healthy tea.

The thing inside the seed of the fruit is also edible and good for you. My grandma gave me some every morning with eggs and tomatoes.

Interesting fact, ginkgos are the last species of their phylum! They're incredibly resilient to pollution and stress, which is why they're

so abundant in cities.
ispentwaytoolongthinkingaboutthis
When leaves drop they also drop seeds. This tree just spunked all over the street and we marvel at it. Awesome
Daeyelle
Well I spunk on my spunk towel and marvel at that

No, I think he had a Ring or something.

Is this what happens when trees sneeze?

Oh lol Angiosperms are so silly
Peasandqueues
Actually I think it is a deciduous gymnosperm, the only other one of which is the larch.
pandro
I guess the larch isn't just a monty python joke.
somnif
Yep, technically. But its a weird one and no one can exactly agree on their phylogeny in relation to the rest.
ChilledOutEntertainer
damn I just read its Wikipedia article and was going to say this too :( very interesting species!
tjluv
Raking ginko tree leaves as a kid was the worst, especially when they got wet and clung on to the side walk
SpiderDetective
And the smell...
quattroformaggix4
What do they smell like?
tjluv
Vinegary wine
NatsukiIsMyWaifu
Vomit
seattleUpPartner
In other news there was a dioxin spill where that is
smoochmysnoot
seattleUpPartner
There actually wasn't. Dioxin is the main ingredient in Agent Orange. A highly toxic defoliant used in the Vietnam War.
StalkerMagnet
Uh oh, that's gotta smell

good
TisNagim
Only if you have a female tree will it smell. Or if you have enough males in a small enough area and one of them becomes a female.
HomelessJesus
That’s what happens in prison too
eibhlin
And they're right by every fuckin bus stop and pathway in seoul~ my shoes are destroyed
thewhifflingtit
Most ginko trees used in landscaping are clones from male trees, so they have almost no smell.
softestpants
What's it smell like?
ProbeOfFear
Dogshit.
liveanimuls
People say it smells like cum. It’s hard to describe it but it is not a pleasant smell.
Stev757
That's the Callery Pear tree that smells like cum. Ginko smells like vomit.
wildcatfan4life
If you have to ask consider yourself lucky that you haven't experience it yet.
CatherineMarie
They produce a chemical that smells similar to vomit. My college campus is covered in them
softestpants
Oh god, that's way more horrible than I thought! Why on earth would you plant those in public?!?!?
CatherineMarie
The ones here were a class gift given to the school as a joke. Other than that I have no idea why people would want these around
Getty13
You go to Penn?
CatherineMarie
No Del Val
oddoregano
But.... But why, why would someone plant those?
liveanimuls
We had those at my middle school:(

DAMNIT you beat me to it :P
aintgottimeforyou
Only one of the sexes smells, but I can’t remember if it’s the male or female tree.
chickenuggit
It’s the female!
MisterLemons
Female, and it's the fruit.
MondayFortunato
Dioecious plants ftw
YourFriendlyNeighbourhoodEcologist
its the female

This is the one face I remember from college biology. All the Gingko trees at my university are of only one sex.

It’s 2017 you can’t just assume the trees gender
DrunkenMarineBiologist
It's 2017, you can't just assume it identifies as a tree
VitaminJay
They will also change gender if there's too many of one or the other in the neighborhood. lifeuuhfindsaway.gif

Ginkgos where around before the dinosaurs... and during the dinosaurs... and they're still here i guess
MisterLemons
Native to nowhere naturally anymore. Humans are the only things cultivating them anymore.
Kkenn
Same goes for my anxiety
SpethalSauce
They just won't gink-go away
WeylandYutaniCorp
As well as the Araucaria araucana, or Monkey Puzzle tree. It's threatened in Chile because logging and the nuts are harvested to feed pigs.

Tree Stars?
cobaltandchrome
Not really. Ginko leaves are fan shaped https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6e/39/3d/6e393d5d9539612180bc43f3792189ed.jpg
AttractedToShinyThings
Yea, I think that is so interesting!
Babaloga
Technically so are the dinosaurs, since it's a clade so all of their descendants still count.
raminagrobis
Dinosaurs were around before the dinosaurs.. Hot damn
Babaloga
I mean... no. I said "are", not "were". They're still around today, just in bird form.
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
One of the very few times you see parallel veins in a tree. And it grows hella slow :/
ZebraCockSandwich
I have a small one in my yard I call my Ginko Bush. looks like a hedge its so short lol. grows maybe 1-2 inches a year.
Panicpeace
And what’s up with their naked seed?
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
They do it like they do on the discovery channel
alisongrace5656
That usually means that they have a long life span too...I don't know how long they live, on average. Will Google and get back to you.
thewhifflingtit
Lies.
alisongrace5656
What Is?
Bob423
So maybe it knows what it's doing?
TisNagim
Its planted everywhere because it was actually hardy enough to handle industrial revolution London's coal smoke-y atmosphere
Bob423
That's badass...for a tree
TisNagim
what's actually badass is that it survived the dinosaurs in an isolated mountain pass. And all ginkgos today come from that small colony

I did not know this. Thank you
