Named for the source of the seed, thusly Ginkgo 'Liquor Store'(a beauftifully shaped tree in front of the local spirits retailer).

What are they feeding the mother plant at that liquor store, and what kind of beer selection do they have? That is why we need more female ginkgos. You should sell that seed Kevin.

As long as they carry Guinness, why would they need to sell any other beer? The seed falls all over the sidewalks in town, with huge heaps of squashed fruit piled along the road. The wafting fragrance of fresh vomit permeates the area. Ahhhhhhhh....autumn.

Ahhh Guinness. The king of beers. I will trade a homemade raspberry stout for laceleaf ginkgo seeds and/or seedlings. The beer may or may not induce vomiting. I will have to wait until August to know.
