As New York heads into peak foliage season, the crisp autumn air carries a signature scent - the unmistakable stink of the ginkgo. That pungent perfume is Mother Nature's peculiar way of signaling that the tree's iconic fan-shaped leaves are just days away from turning a brilliant, electric yellow. Throughout October, ginkgo trees flaunt their unique, fan-like leaves, which begin to curl and shimmer in the breeze like brass tambourine jingles.
