Maidenhair Tree (Ginkgo biloba) Sunnyside, San Francisco, California

Most grown ginkgos are male due to the strong odor from the fruits of female ginkgos. However, a ginkgo tree can change its sex.

I shall make you humble for I am 270 million years old. My leaves turn to breath-taking gold in the fall.
I was born a female or a male, but I can switch that even long after I mature.
