Seen on an allotment. This tree with strange leaves. They were changing colour and may be gone next week as we are having a cold, wet and windy spell, it may even be frosty in the morning. I think it might be a Gingko?
Yes it is! Gingko Bilboa. Apparently the tree that time forgot according to Mr Google. Now I know I might order one from t’internet as my Yorkshire friend says.
Mallaband-Brown 
It is! Distinct leaves… Beautiful tree 😊

I’m amazed I recognized it! I used to go on an art site called floating gingko and they had a drawing of one as their symbol. X

Brilliant 👍 I think they have medicinal properties, too, like most plants.. and if I remember correctly, there’s a male and female tree (or I might have made that up?) 😂

I had to check, they do have male and female trees! I thought I saw them in cartoon form when I was a kid. Children’s book of knowledge or something like that. I didn’t imagine it after all 😂

Thanks for the info. I wonder if they make fruit

It appears that the female one does, but the fruits are foul-smelling lol they can change orientations, though, IE not permanently male or female. I think one can tell by how the flowers look like.
