How many gingko trees are there in town? The big one is at the back of Oak Grove Cemetery. I think there is/was one at the old Hammontree house on Main Street. I have a small one in front of my house, courtesy of Virginia Shoemaker, and she has at least one. It’s a common street tree in Manhattan and there are people who don’t like the smell of the fruit. There’s even an an organized group, the Anti-Ginkgo Tolerance Group. From the New Yorker:

We are here to solve the problem of the Ginkgo tree commonly known as vomit trees. . . . The Ginkgo tree is widely known by most people but not by name. Walking down the street on a beautiful October evening your moment of tranquility is rudely demolished by the smell of old cheese and vomit.
