The Gingko Trees That Don't Bear Fruit

The Gingko Trees That Don’t Bear Fruit

This is a sad story, but you can’t imagine anyone’s noses being ungrateful for a ginkgo tree without fruit:

There were two trees in the inner garden on the temple grounds-a male and a female. Long ago, a child climbed the trees to pick the fruit, but fell and was seriously injured. After the resident priest prayed that such a thing would never happen again, the trees stopped bearing fruit entirely from the next year.
