I harvested a couple hundred of these bare handed, I had NO PROBLEM TO MY SKIN, I only heard of problems watching videos how to save the seeds to grow and cook. I wonder if it's even true. Really, I'm thinking I'll post a video getting the rest of them I harvest all over my hands so people know they really aren't bad. I really appreciate your video!! 💕 🙏 🌻 😊 👍 💕
Ppl used to let these nuts in bags or containers let them just ferment on their own(away~away~from your home🤭🤮😉😱)and once it's done wash them off with water many times and dry them. Keep them in freezer in shell and take out however much you need and crack them up. Very thin shells. Pan fri with little grease and sprinkle salt. Amazing flavor and texture and have some medicinal properties that I can't remember ^0^.I've been told that i shouldn't eat too much at once. Thanks for the great videos. I found you not long ago and I'm learning a lot from your content.
Thank you for the welcome back. Spring is such a great time for eating wild plants, so it's hard to not post videos, lol. But I'm trying to be consistent with posting videos all this year.
Very helpful information! I see some ladies picking the rotten berries up from the neighborhood sidewalk EVERY YEAR and it’s always puzzled me how something so foul-smelling could be so important. Now I know! Love the channel.
Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying my videos. I'll be showing more about how to process a lot of ginkgo fruits at once -- and how to cook them. And then maybe you will be out there with the ladies next season! :D
Thanks for the welcome back. I"m excited for you to try those redbud flowers. I'm sure you have some in your area and they are so noticeable when those pink flowers appear before many trees have their leaves.
Your channel is great. I'M glad YOU'RE here! You deserve so many more subscribers. Please keep doing what you're doing! Maybe cross-promote your channel with other big forager youtubers. You deserve a larger audience for all this genuinely great content.
Just discovered your channel, I’m a few videos in and hearing you say “willy nilly” in the same manner as I often do brought a smile to my face. There’s a big old ginkgo tree on the property where I work that drops a ton of fruit. This winter I learned the nuts inside the awful smelling goo balls of fruit are edible, so this upcoming fall I intend to clean and prepare a small bag of em to find out how they taste. Thoroughly enjoying your videos 👍🏻
I'm glad you're enjoying my videos, the MusiCandMedicinE. I'll be doing some videos on using those ginkgo nuts this spring, so I hope you find those videos helpful. Ginkgo nuts are worth picking and processing, for sure! And with all the fruit that one tree can make, you can harvest them -- willy nilly! ; )
Awesome video as always full of great information. Thank you so much for the beautiful gift. My first gift and I love it! You need to publish a book with all of your knowledge on foraging. It is a useful and needed skill. Looking forward to learning more about this nut and its uses. :) Peaches
You're so welcome! There are so many amazing plants, in the garden and out growing on their own. I'm sure the sunflowers will do well under your care, you're such a good gardener! I'll have a video on different ways to use the ginkgo nuts up in a couple weeks. Happy gardening! -- Chris
Then you are in for a treat! If you see a ginkgo tree with rotten fruit underneath, make a note of where it's at. Most of the ginkgo trees are male and won't have any fruit at all. So those female trees are valuable, for people that learn how to use their nuts! Enjoy your beautiful ginkgo trees there in NYC!
Ginkgo trees do well in the Midwest. But they are more of a town and city tree, planted in the parks or along the streets,, because they stand up to city conditions and don't have any pests or diseases in North America. Next time you are in the old part of bigger town or city, you might see some. Thanks for the welcome back! I bet you know some of the trees that you will see in upcoming videos here on my channel. And lots of weeds, too, lol. Happy spring!
Since last spring I moved to the city and your videos always make me think of my home in the country :D I'm VERY allergic to poison ivy though so I think I might stay away from ginko. Hope you're having a good spring!
That's quite a shift, applejuice54321, moving to the city. I'm glad you have good memories of your time in the countryside. That rash from the ginkgo fruit can be a pain, for sure. When I get it on my forearms, I have a super-itchy rash for a couple weeks! Even though the chemical in the ginkgo fruit that causes the rash, is not exactly the same as the one that causes poison ivy. At least the nut does not have that chemical, so once the fruit is gone, the risk of the rash is gone. I'm having a great spring, with lots of weeds, as usual, lol. But they are tasty ones, so that's fine by me. I haven't forgotten your request for a video on nipplewort! They are back, ready to eat! :D Have a great spring yourself!
They don't require 30-40 years to bear fruit. I have my eye on a planting in a recent business development that has a couple of trees that have a pretty heavy crop and I know they aren't over ten years old. They might reach optimal production at 30-40 but they will grow fruit much earlier.
You're welcome. And thanks for letting me know what you get hung up on for foraging. That's helpful to know -- and I'll definitely address this in a future video.
I also happen to live in oregon I was unaware that your channel was based here so that makes it convenient as the content is relevent now whereas other channels im like um…that doesnt grow here
That's definitely convenient. There are so many great weeds and other wild plants and mushrooms around here. Most of the weeds are in many other places, too. But we have some great specialties here!
Haphazard Homestead there are 2 HUGE ginkgo trees near my daughter's house, I collect a few bags of leaves there every fall, but have not seen any nuts. Will have to keep my eyes open, but I will need a 15 foot pole to shake anything.
Many of the ginkgo trees will never have nuts -- because they are male trees. Only the female trees will have the plum-like fruits with their nuts inside. The easiest way to find the female trees is to look for the messy sidewalks when the fruits are falling. That's a long pole you will need! Maybe throw a line over a branch. I'll try that myself next time, for some of the higher branches. : )
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm going to be focusing in-depth on each of the 8 Principles in upcoming videos. I hope it helps everyone enjoy the edible plants around them! Happy foraging!
Sorry for the slow reply, Sabby. I have harvested leaves from a mature Ginkgo tree at the southeast corner of Hendricks Hall, if you know where that is. It must be a male tree, because I haven't seen fruit on it. Hope that helps. And enjoy the black locust flowers this season. They will be out soon!
I was told there is a fruiting tree on campus. The landscaper hates it because when the fruit falls it smells real bad when he has to rake it. I am japanese and would love fresh ginko nuts🤔
I made a mistake in the location of that ginkgo tree, Sabby. It's the southeast corner of Earl Hall, not Hendricks Hall. There's also a house between campus and the Maude Kerns Art Center that has a Ginkgo tree in the front yard that produces fruit. They have told me that I can harvest from their tree, so you may be able to find that tree and ask. Next time I'm in that part of town, I'll double check the location. I want you to be able to get fresh gingko nuts, too!
Thank you holly for years of wonderful videos. I started just about everything because of you. Even the magic molly which I love. I take walks always and my eyes are everywhere to find wild edibles. During these bad times I know I will not starve thanks to you
HI Sabby, I think I have found a fruit-bearing ginkgo tree for you to check out on the UofO campus. The tree is on the Southwest corner of the College of Education Behavioral Research and Teaching building that is east of Alder St and 16th Avenue. I hope you can find the tree and get some ginkgo nuts this season. This is a link on iNaturalist that will show you the location. www.inaturalist.org/observations/65720094

if ill want to germinate the seeds - what would you advice? I heard someone who soak the seeds for 24 hours in the fridge and then germinate the seeds on paper towel about one month to 3 months
Please can you show some videos on how to cook gingko nuts? I don't like boiled ginko nuts. Also I see the Asian ladies gathering the nuts from the streets and selling them at the supermarket. I think that's cool.
Boiled ginkgo nuts, all by themselves, are strange, for sure. There are so many other ways to enjoy them. I'll be posting videos that you might find helpful for enjoying them yourself! Grilled ginkgo nuts are such a special treat!
ty I dig ya the most, dollface. Oh, Hey I have pounds and pounds of black walnuts and I throw them away cause well I am in Cleveland. and I dont know s8it about this stuff... I mean prolly last year this huge tree mad like 2 big plastic totes full a week till gone. HELP?.
Thanks, song yardbird. I'm glad you are enjoying my videos. That's a lot of great eating with all your black walnuts! It takes effort to crack black walnuts, but they have such a unique flavor. I'll put black walnuts on my list of future video topics. My artist mom uses the hulls to make paint for art. And my dad taught me some tricks for getting the nutmeat out -- they are not the easiest nut to work with, for sure. Enjoy your spring!
@@@HaphazardHomestead I love your posts as does my 7y old gd. The Black walnuts are Soooo Goood! I thought they had to cure. and process. Heard of makin dye outta hulls. I will try ink drawings (made w "reed" pens from dried stems of from weeds in the yard) So I am looking forward to the tips and tricks for b walnuts! And more art stuff from weeds and such if ya know any. ty Song
There are so many ways to cook them. I'll be showing how in upcoming videos -- grilling, pan-roasting (but that comes with a warning), oven-roasting, sauteeing, boiling -- in the shell, out of the shell, -- alone or in other dishes from salads to desserts! They are versatile. And tasty! You are in for a treat with your harvest! :D
If I'm just picking the fruits up off the ground, I don't have any problem. But when I'm processing a lot of them and have my hands on the fruit, or in water with the fruit, for awhile, I'll get a rash just like poison ivy. It's the same oil that causes the problem with both plant, and I'm allergic to poison ivy, too. I hope you can find some ginkgo nuts this season!

I'm in the Willamette valley too, out here in the country side. I'll probably be learning a lot from your channel. Thanks for sharing, subscribed!

Thanks for this lively and informative video!
Thanks for sharing your foraging skills.
Yay! You're back
Thanks!
Yeah , .. you’re back and you rock , great information and wonderful video
Thanks for the welcome back. And I hope you get a chance to eat plenty of wild greens this spring!
Hey! So glad to see you back. I am gonna make tracking down a red bud tree this year a goal because of your video. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the welcome back. I"m excited for you to try those redbud flowers. I'm sure you have some in your area and they are so noticeable when those pink flowers appear before many trees have their leaves.
I have also been curious about red bud since this video

I just found your channel doing a search on ginkgo nuts/fruits. Nice video. Subscribed.
Thank you, here in NYC, we have lots of ginko trees.
Then you are in for a treat! If you see a ginkgo tree with rotten fruit underneath, make a note of where it's at. Most of the ginkgo trees are male and won't have any fruit at all.

ayyyy nyc gang
Some male gingko trees do turn into female trees over time, nature is weird
You are a great teacher
Thank you! I hope you can enjoy finding a ginkgo tree sometime!
Hey! Long time, no see! I don't think we have them around here. Least I've never heard anyone mention them. Glad to see ya back.
Ginkgo trees do well in the Midwest. But they are more of a town and city tree, planted in the parks or along the streets,, because they stand up to city conditions and don't have any pests or diseases in North America. Next time you are in the old part of bigger town or city, you might see some.

We're neighbors! Love your videos!!!! 💜💜💜💜
Thanks, neighbor! Oregon's Willamette Valley is a great place to be! :D
The pulp of the fruit has buturic acid which give it the unpleasant smell. But I made an excellent liquor from the jus and the fruit.
Liquor from the pulp?
Do you mind sharing the recipe with us? 😊
Great information
They don't require 30-40 years to bear fruit. I have my eye on a planting in a recent business development that has a couple of trees that have a pretty heavy crop and I know they aren't over ten years old. They might reach optimal production at 30-40 but they will grow fruit much earlier.
Amazing 😍 Blessings
I'm glad you enjoyed my Ginkgo nuts, carolyn moody! I hope you can find some yourself sometime!
Amazing!
There's gingko biloba growing in the park beside my condo. tons of it. I wanna take some but this sounds like a lot of work lol
thank you I get hung up over places to forage and the legality of such and how I would go about doing
You're welcome. And thanks for letting me know what you get hung up on for foraging. That's helpful to know -- and I'll definitely address this in a future video.

Great info! I will have to look if the squirrels leave any 😁
haha -- A big ginkgo tree will have enough for everyone! Look for some happy squirrels! :D

Good luck in finding a female tree -- they are out there! And with 1 tree, you will have plenty of nuts! :D
Good girl.. oops , sorry, I meant good teaching . Thanks 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm going to be focusing in-depth on each of the 8 Principles in upcoming videos. I hope it helps everyone enjoy the edible plants around them! Happy foraging!
Holly you helped me with finding locust flowers in eugene. Do you know about a ginko tree on the U of O campus grounds?
Sorry for the slow reply, Sabby. I have harvested leaves from a mature Ginkgo tree at the southeast corner of Hendricks Hall, if you know where that is.

Like a big pistachios so attractive medium good fat... this is a loaded question, QQQ question; What nutrition value would it have equal to?
Can ginko be taken with date fruits?
Yeah but how do you cook them?? I harvested a bunch this past fall but haven't really found a way to cook them..
There are so many ways to cook them.

HChrisH200 - Haphazard Homestead thank you for the reply and the content you put out!!! I look forward to the upcoming video :D
interesting, Ive tried fruits I dont remember anything but unpleasant smell and sweetness, no irritation whatsoever.
If I'm just picking the fruits up off the ground, I don't have any problem. But when I'm processing a lot of them and have my hands on the fruit, or in water with the fruit, for awhile, I'll get a rash just like poison ivy.

The fruits have something similar to urush oil? Oh hell naw!
