I'm happy to say the ginko near my offcie is finally _almost_ stink-free and can go back to being a a pretty tree instead of my sworn enemy.<br /><br />Lyssa, I am still waiting for a patchouli lover to explain to me what it is they smell. I have to believe that it's different than what we're smelling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032310794398089711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898378408144528305.post-2715639948266831072009-11-05T22:09:37.314-05:002009-11-05T22:09:37.314-05:00Catholic U has a ginkgo tree as well, and, yes, it...Catholic U has a ginkgo tree as well, and, yes, it's a female tree, so it stinks, too. Gingkos are interesting: they're considered living fossils, and the trees are either male or female. Regrettably, the female ones are the smelly ones; I'm guessing people plant it not knowing whether it'll be a male or female, and hope for the best. They're gorgeous in fall -- a lovely bright golden yellow -- but sadly if it's a female it's hard to enjoy the view, since you're bent over double retching from the stench. <br />There is a street near Howard U. in DC that is lined with them -- I can't imagine what that would smell like -- 20-30 trees in one block -- if many of them are females.<br />As for the whole hair thing, I blame Pearl Jam & Nirvana. The whole grunge thing is like a snowball, or greaseball as it were, that was pushed off the mountain top and now it's going pell mell toward flammability. Seriously, can we refine the oil sludge from the average male undergraduate's head?? Seems to me we could cut Saudi Arabia loose with that policy. Or Texas.kpdelingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280465581277443482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898378408144528305.post-91583838387065313992009-11-05T18:01:37.049-05:002009-11-05T18:01:37.049-05:00Thank you, Maia.
