Ginkgo biloba is special because it is the sole remaining species of a group that was once far more diverse. That group diverged from its closest living (i.e., extant) relatives about 350 million years ago. Anyway, the sex of cultivated Ginkgo trees in North America is quite irrelevant because these trees are not part of a breeding population. -- Una Smith una.smith@yale.edu Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Yale University
