Ginkgo biloba (Maidenhair tree): Fruit
		The "fruits" are actually naked seeds, produced only after the female tree is 20 to 30 years old. They are stalked, plumlike and about 1 inch in diameter. The word "ginkgo" is derived from the Chinese words meaning "silver apricot." Each seed consists of a nutlike center surrounded by yellow-orange flesh that has a strong, putrid odor. The nutlike center is roasted and eaten as a delicacy in China and Japan. This may be mildly toxic if eaten in excess, and is poisonous if eaten raw.
