The Ginkgo Gallery collected photos of ginkgo trees, especially those trees recorded and monitored by Ginkgo DB. Some photos of ginkgo specimens and biological materials are included, as well.
Ginkgo seeds are known for their high edible value, special toxicity, and unpleasant odor. The shape and size of seed are important characters in classification of ginkgo varieties.
As a famous dioecious wind-pollinated plant, male cones and female cones (or seeds) are the most reliable sex identification characteristics of ginkgo tree.
Some of the samples and biological materials stored in our ginkgo material bank is photographed or scanned.
We monitored the phenology of ginkgo leaf spreading, flowering and leaf falling. The latitude and elevation pattens and sexual dimorphism is highlighted.
We are committed to photographing and archiving every ginkgo tree monitored by Ginkgo DB. Our ambition is to collect at least one photo for each ginkgo tree we recorded.
