Ginkgo Tree 식목운동을 시작하면서 김치맨
2022-11-03
Hi, Brand new Councillor,
Whenever I drive past the Canabbie Farm named REDECAN CITY, I smell the bad smell.
So, I try to find out a way of reducing the bad smell.
Do you know anything about the tree, Ginkgo Biloba?
This is a very well known tree to oriental people including Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginkgo_biloba In fact, 35% of Street trees in Seoul, Korea are Ginkgo trees.
Since I am very fond of Gingko trees, I tried to grow them from the seeds 2 years ago.
In May of last year, I gave away about one year old 100 seedlings to my people in Toronto.
Also to my joy, I found some street trees in new subdivisions are young Gingko trees.
The Few, the Proud, the Best Street Trees

ginkgo tree is known for a lot of things – its fan shaped leaves, its status as a living fossil, and the
unfortunate smell of the fruit that female trees produce and subsequently shed. Even though they stink, Ginkgo trees are uniquely suited to survive harsh city life – not only can they hold their own against air pollution, but they
stand strong in the face of soil compaction, pests, disease, salt, wind, cold, drought, fire, and even
nuclear blasts. Thanks to their hardy nature, and no thanks to the females’ stinky fruit, there are still thousands of Ginkgo trees maintaining their majesty as woody angels of the District’s streets.
https://caseytrees.org/2017/07/proud-10-best-street-trees/ While I am daydreaming, I dream like this,
1, Plant Ginkgo trees as Street trees in Haldimand County
2. Plant Ginkgo trees on both sides of Trails in the County
3. Advise the Cannabis farms to plant Ginkgo trees in and around their farms.
Especially REDECAN!
4, Councillor Stam will start a Tree nursery at her farm. Maybe 1 or 2 acres or more if in need.
This tree nursery should be not-for-profit.
Would you please consider starting to study the Ginkgo Trees.
I went to Gage Park to collect some Ginkgo seeds last week.
Sincerely,
Tony the Ginkgoman
