I have learned more about the ginko tree, the one I was going to send to
the dump. I didn't need to feel guilty--the dump wouldn't have killed it.
Not only was this tree prehistoric--but it lined the streets of Nagasaki
when the Bomb dropped in the 40's. It appeared sort of puny for a few
weeks, and the came back, leafed up and bloomed. Amazing!
And, it only becomes "smelly" if it is a female--and even then not for
20 years. Since I don't plan to be in this house forever, I expect
that I will have downsized by then.
So the tree is in the window with the other plants that will not wait
til the end frost danger arrives--it has been watered and cared for.
And that is end of ridding myself of a stinky tree.
On a humorous note, I am sort of allergic to lilac bushes, but I am
still going to try to grow some from seed, Go figure. I like them,
But they make sneeze.
All for now.
