What's your favorite tree and why is it a Ginkgo?
Even though DC is already in peak foliage, many ginkgo tree leaves are just turning or have yet to turn from green to gold. In DC, National Arboretum horticulturist Joseph Meny suggests starting to look out for the gorgeous, fan-shaped yellow leaves the week of November 6.
Once the leaves turn, it’s usually only a matter of days until all the leaves drop. But the leaves are not the only thing for which ginkgos are known. Some trees also have a very distinctive aroma. That’s not the leaves, but from the dropped seeds of female ginkgo trees. According to Meny, the butyric acid in the outer seed coat causes the smell, which has been compared to dirty gym socks, dog poop, vomit, or rancid butter.
