Nice.
I am reminded of when my son was in 2nd or 3rd grade and was assigned to bring in some fall leaves. We went for a walk and found a gingko in a neighbors yard. We picked up some leaves and I told him that those trees have been around for over 5 million years. Next day he got in a bit of a tiff with his teacher telling her "But my father told me the tree was over 5 million years old!" I explained it as I should have in the first place... They are so literal when young.

And Goethe even wrote a poem about the Gingko Biloba leaf. Inspired by the Gingko tree in the garden of Heidelberg Castle.
And here's a Japanese haiku:

So true, less than 48 hours ALL are gone. Closer to 30-36 hours.

Can confirm the quick drop on leaf freeze and the odor of the fruit. I thought it smelled more like dog poop.
An interesting thing is that the two ginkgos planted between sidewalk and curb had multiple lightening strikes despite having two much taller elm trees on either side. Something special about the grounding qualities I suspect. Special tree to own.

The Ginko leaves 100% ALL fell in less than 48 hours.
The summer patio for outdoor eating just outside the Dining Room doors.
I included the Ginko trees from a couple of years ago as a reference.
