Ginkgo trees don't have flowers. They are gymnosperms like pines, firs, spruces, cedars etc. They produce cones.
Their "fruit" smell like ass though. Not even fruit, just a fleshy pine cone of sorts.
They smell like vomit.
Some places they eat the fruit, like Japan and China
Yeah they actually are not to bad tastewise. Just be sure to use gloves when handling the raw fruits with the stinky flesh around it.
I heard various things about their health benefits. But people seem to agree to only consune small amounts.
uh, why? 🍐ԅ( ͒ ͒ )
Yeah, the meme is fine but OP got the wrong tree in the title. Should be the callery pear.
