My autism compells me to plant this tree in my yard. Anyone else being Ginko rn?
>>5118191They're pretty but you know they smell horrible and are difficult to keep alive, right? Why not plant a tree native to your area? What's so special about ginkos?
>>5118192I already have native trees and bushes. I want a ginko. Maybe add a monkey-puzzle and wollemia, so I can call my garden Jurassic Park.
>>5118192>difficult to keep aliveUtter nonsense.>>5118191I live on a semi-private pedestrian walkway (as in it's not technically closed off to the public but despite being in an extremely dense urban area surrounded by skyscrapers, most people, even ones who've lived here their whole lives, have no idea we're even here because the two entrances to our terraced courtyard are kinda hidden, one up a flight of steps from a main street, the other obscured by buildings and a pair of hedges from another main street; they had to send a guy with a backpack camera thing to streetview us for GoogleMaps) and some genius a bajillion years ago decided to plant stinkgo trees here. They're the only downside to this otherwise brilliant location (well, that and the Historical Society, Historical Commission and Commission for the Preservation of Landmarks). Our horrid trees have been here since 1784.
>>5118192>Why not plant a tree native to your area?Holy reddit. Not sure if retarded or blatantly spreading misinfoGinkgos are impossible to kill. They survived the dinosaurs and nukes being dropped on japan. And if you buy from a commercial nursery you are most likely getting a male branch grafted onto rootstock. Nobody sells females because of the smell and if they do it still takes 30 years to reach maturity anyways.
>>5118360yes anon, everything is Reddit :d
>>5118229Sounds like a based tree.>>5118360A literal not-my-problem tree that survives nukes and asteroids. I must plant it. >>5118360Not everything that /an/ calls reddit is reddit, but you are reddit.
>>5118369Yes, native plants are reddit
>>5118191I gathered some... nuts? Fruits? Don't know what these are actually. They smell odd but not unpleasant. I wonder if I am able to grow trees from these.
>>5118191i used to have a gingko bonsai you fucking retarded faggot.
>>5118191Do you want your yard to smell like cum during autumn?
>>5118191Plant native trees. Better for your local ecosystems.
>>5118516That's linden you idiot.
>>5118519>>5118516https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLqljkci_I8
>>5118516Not my problem
>>5118516He's already noseblind to it so it won't be an issue
>>5118517Already have them. Including Dutch oak, V. opulus, the most native of native plants.But I also want ginko. Ginko is non-invasive. You are being mega reddit. Stop it.
>>5118517Yassss we have to plant idigenous bipoc native plants to save the ecosystem. If you plant anything non-native you are literally doing a hecking problematic colonialism
>>5118191>>5118205If you want a tree (japan) just get a japanese maple. They're very lovely, especially in fall.I have both in my yard and much prefer the maple.
>>5118516>implying it doesn't already
>>5118516ginkgo smells like dogshit. The fruits from the female tree specifically. I live in a city full of these things. The smashed rotten fruit cakes the sidewalks for months at a time. Your shoes smell like you walked through dog shit if you walk on the smashed fruit layer. They make so much fruit it falls and mashes for months and months.ginkgo trees are older than the dinosaurs so a Tyrannosaurus rex at one point walked through a grove of these things where the fruits had all been mashed by brontosauruses and he stopped and sniffed for a minute and thought “the fuck is that?” and then he looked down at his clawed feet all caked in stinking ginkgo fruit paste and thought “god fucking damnit”If you plant a ginkgo tree in your yard you are perpetuating a long series of “god damnits” that stretch unbroken all the way back to the days when fish had elephant trunks and dragonflies were 4 feet long
>>5118192>difficult to keep aliveI accidentally snapped a sapling in half and it still grew anon
>>5118205Based paleobotanist. Add some tree ferns and cycads as well. Look for some Gondwanan plants if you can get them
>>5119900Thanks anon, you get it!>>5119828You don't get it but thanks for the effort. I'd love to be part of the ginko problem.>>5118644>maple first apeared during the paleoceneYou misunderstood it so much, could not be more wrong if you tried.
>>5119939>Paleozoic origin>One of the few living Marattiales>Looks like something out of King KongConsider an Angiopteris evecta. They don’t like the cold though and get huge so depends on your climate/amount of room
>>5120104Thanks anon, very cool. But they won't survive winter where I live.
I nominate a Nothofagus beech for the dino forest
>>5118191Based prehistoric tree
>>5118516yes
>>5120181>tree's name is No HomoBasedo.There are three ginko's in the graveyard here in my village, I visit them often on my walks.Picrel is one of them (OC)
Sorry boys, I can't upload my ginko picture. It says the filesize us too large even tho it's only 3 mb's. Fuck you moot.
>>5122375>>5122372Either https://ezgif.com/resize/ and resize it, https://ezgif.com/optijpeg and recompress it to a specific file size or https://litterbox.catbox.moe and upload it there.Also, 4chan allows files up to 4mb, so there's no way your 3mb pic wouldn't be uploadable due to file size limits. 4chan won't allow you to upload if you're incognito, though. Are you incognito?
>>5122372>tree's name is No HomoNope. Fagus is Latin for beech. See fagus sylvatica (European beech but translated literally, it's forest beech) and faggio in Italian.Notho is from Greek nothos. It means "bastard". So translating it directly, the name would be more like false beech, you yes-ho-faggot.
>>5122392>fagus sylvatica This translates to "forest fag"
>>5119828>ginkgo smells like dogshitTake a deep breath next time, you tard.
>>5122375if it's a jaypeg, resize and shrink it then try again>>5122391>4chan allows files up to 4mb, so there's no way your 3mb pic wouldn't be uploadable due to file size limitsas of 2020 or so uploaded jpegs get converted to baselinewhat this results in is an inconsistency between your original filesize and the uploaded filesize(the pixel data remains the same), and also completely fucks up searching images by MD5
>>5118192>difficult to keep alive>a tree that is naturally resistant to pests and disease>a tree that withstands pollution from urban environments>a tree that is highly drought resistant when established/mature>a tree that is okay with a wide range of soil PH and salinity>a tree you can reduce to a stump and it will grow back>a tree species that survived nearly 300 million yearsAre you fucking drowning your trees or something Anon??
>>5123914How come it's almost extinct in the wild then?
>>5123947Because it's from Asia, Asians value the wood for light furniture and bowls and game boards and the nuts for magic peepee pills or whatever so it's been domesticated to fuck and back and the few wild populations still around are only in remote areas away from most people. Similar reasons why there are so few wild (rather: feral) populations of bos taurus IE common cattle. Might as well claim that cows are extinct for how much sense it makes to claim that ginkgo are.
>>5123914The answer to your question is in his second sentence. Native plant fags aren't above blatantly lying to serve their agenda. Ginkgo is one of the most benign trees you can have. It is literally incapable of being invasive. There are no known instances of ginkgo reproducing and spreading in a wild environment.>>5123947Because the megafauna that ate and spread its seeds went extinct. Same thing with kentucky coffee trees, osage orange, and avocados, which were restricted in range and on the verge of extinction until humans started cultivating them.
>>5119828They smell fine to me
