"wild" ginkgo
While walking through the field behind my house i spotted a few elms and a ginkgo and i thought that was neat then i stopped in my tracks and said "wait was that a ginkgo" (hope its a female, ginkgo forest
 ) i know it came from one of my neighbors has a female ginkgo but I really don't think i should get my hopes up for a ginkgo forest but it would be pretty cool. i'll leave it there see what happens in the next 30 years see if its there if i even remember its there.

cool, well thats how naturalization happens. but ginko's need two to tango so i wouldn't get your hopes up. the same thing with podocarpus happens were i am. some bird ill eat a couple of seeds drop them somewhere, and twenty years later i discover a whole stand of podocarpus from as big as my leg down to my thumb size. it's cool how things survive.

What's the difference between a male and female ginko?

The flowers are different. The male flowers produce pollen which can fertilise the female ovum to make seed.

and females produce a seed with a seed coat that not only smells like bad butter but will give you a reaction similer to poison ivy. (i got the rash twice and never got poisen ivy rash go figure). that is a couple of reasons why you won't see females very often or at all.
