Easy one but not for me, what kind of tree is this?

That's a ginkgo...not native, but planted in city yards.

Thanks Tony, I'm searching for my city yard and this one had a unique look to it. I appreciate the assist.

The ginko species is one of the oldest known existing tree species.
We had one in our yard growing up.
It's pretty easy to get them to grow straight up quite a bit before crowning out.

If you plant one, make sure you’re getting a male tree. The ripe "fruit" of the female tree smells like dog poo.

Yes they do. Messy too.

This cannot be emphasized enough.

Thanks for the heads up. Hard to shake the stinky tree reputation on the block!

There are some planted near by and a volunteer has grown in my yard. Now I sure hope it is a male....

They've got an entire phylum all to themselves.
