I had heard that Ginkgos were "well behaved" trees in that they don't require much maintenance, but this never quite struck home until this past Friday. The street in front of the office is lined with Ginkgos, and I guess there had been a frost on Thursday night, and nearly all the trees had simply dumped their leaves into a nice discreet pile right under the tree ... walking down the block it was bare tree after bare tree, each sitting on a carpet of yellow ginkgo leaves. Wish I'd had my camera to add a pic to this reminiscence!
