Ginkgo fruits at Kew Gardens
You rarely see fruiting ginkgo trees like this, they tend not to be grown by choice as when the fruits drop to the ground in autumn they become mushy and really stink. Not what you want lining our pavements where they are usually planted to assist with pollution.
I took this photo some years ago when I was teaching herbal students in Kew gardens one summer. Right now these trees will have autumnal yellowing leaves, a sign they are at their peak medicinal potency.
Gingko is renowned for having the ability to oxygenate the brain in particular, helping cognitive decline. Ginkgo leaves are rich in strong anti-inflammatory compounds which help reduce inflammation so prevalent in many chronic diseases. Its list of uses is endless therapeutically. Which is why it’s in our (wild certified ginkgo leaf) heart and general circulatory formula ‘Pumpbeat capsules’. Just ask for samples.
