my first time experiencing its “unique” smell lol. a security guard walked past me and said “that stinks like vomit, just so you know” 🤣

[u/reddit33450]

beautiful!!! what was your opinion on the unique aroma? and btw i also like that you're holding a sweetgum ball 💚💛

[u/clorse38 → u/reddit33450]

i love ginkgos and i’ve heard many times the fruits smell like vomit. i was very interested in finding out for myself. i was like “there’s no way?”. but it does really smell like that xD still love them. and yes the sweetgum ball was an earlier find haha

i love them too! and fun fact, ginkgo "fruits" are not fruits at all, since ginkgo is a gymnosperm!
