    Chlorophyll contains nitrogen. So towards the end of the grow season, the gingko tree will break down its chlorophyll and retrieve the nitrogen possibly for its root growth during winter time. Nitrogen is essential for enzyme production, cell division and other activities. Plus nitrogen fixing bacteria are not as active during winter time. So conserving its own nitrogen before its leaves are dropped is essential.

    I am Korean. There are several 1000~1500-year-old ginkgo trees in Korea.

    I have 10 seedlings from the seeds I picked in Shanghai, China. Will it survive here in the Philippines? I need some advise, please.

      @@Jetsignature thanks for your reply, I have now 8 ginkgo plants and still alive and doing well after the months of April and May which is the summer season in the Philippines. I just hope and pray that they will survive and grow to become tall trees. Did you know that apple can survive and grow and bear fruits here in the Philippines.

      They are everywhere. you don't need to ask someone from the internet. Chinese people eat the seeds like nuts. Just go to your local Asian marketplace and you could probably buy 1 kilo of the nuts for like $5 USD. Don't buy off Amazon.com though. That place is a rip off.

    Once the leaves turn yellow in autum how long before they fall off the tree?

    Great video so informative. That tree is impressive, the first tree specie to come back after Hiroshima bombing it manage pretty well radioactivity so I heard.
    An amazing tree! Once you know that tree it is so easy to identify it. The foul smell of the fruit of the gingko tree is an understatement. Put simply a rotting Gingko tree fruit smells like vomit. It is so bad that my sister vomit when she first smelled it even after I cautioned here about it. This is why you will never see female Gingko tree in a city, only botanical gardens will keep some to show how cool the smell is. 😁😁😁😁
