Gingko fruit ripening in early Autumn - Seoul

白果银杏

 

The only downside to this is that these ripened berries often drop on the ground and start to ferment, giving a vomit smell! Many trees in the streets of Seoul are female and bearing fruits. Now we have cities where they intended to plant these beautiful trees( golden leaves in autumn) resort to sex choosing so that only male trees with no berries are planted)

 

For the adventure of some one who had harvested and ate the nuts ; read here.
