Earlier in the tour, you saw an example of a female ginkgo tree.  This tree is a male.  Most of the year, both sexes look the same.  However, in the spring, the male produces cones that look different from the receptive female cones (which eventually develop into the fruit-like mature female cones). 

Follow the sidewalk that leads to the pedestrian bridge.  As you cross the bridge, the next tree is on your left.  The branches of the tree reach near to the bridge.  next tree
