Plus, some questions about tree health.
A ginkgo tree in December has the most brilliant golden foliage you will ever see, and I consider myself privileged to have a few of them growing in my neighborhood.
Native to China, this is an exceedingly durable tree, whose oldest living specimen is 3,500 years old. Its pollution and smog resistance and virtual immunity to pests and diseases make it a highly desirable tree for the urban landscape, or at least for public parks.
The ginkgo is dioecious, which means that trees are either male or female. The females produce malodorous fruit so that the only ginkgo trees found in the nursery trade are males. Buds from male trees are grafted onto seedlings to ensure that the resulting tree will never bear fruit. A gardener from the Redlands area wrote to me as follows: “I have two Hachiya persimmon trees growing about 30 feet apart. This year, for the first time, they set no fruit. Now, one tree has yellow leaves while the other is stubbornly holding onto green leaves. In the past 35 years, they both have reliably borne fruit and colored in the fall. Thanks for any explanations you might have.”
