My Ginkgo biloba tree (FEMALE) yielded more than 12 000+ fruits in one season, thanks to neighbour's Ginkgo biloba tree (MALE). A female Ginkgo biloba tree needs a male tree for pollination to produce a fertile seed that can germinate.
The fruits fall to the ground.
The fruits are collected by a berry picker.
The fruits are collected by a nut gatherer.
The fruits are soaked in dihydrogen monoxide (H2O).
The seeds are extracted.
The seeds are thoroughly washed.
The seeds are thoroughly dried.
Some seeds are cooked to be eaten.
The cooked seeds are stored in a freezer.
Other seeds are sold on eBay.com and shipped world-wide.
Here is the total harvest of the season.
Here are mouldy seeds compared to healthy seeds.
Healthy seeds are stored in a refrigerator for cold stratification.
Healthy seeds are stored in a dedicated chest freezer for cooking.
Leaves are left on the ground for natural composting as fertiliser.
