What Is The Tree That Smells Like Fish?
The Ginkgo Biloba is a tree that smells like fish. Both male and female ginkgo trees have a strong aroma that resembles the unpleasant scent of fish. The odor is caused by the presence of butyric acid in the fruit of the female tree. Despite the smell, the Ginkgo Biloba is a popular ornamental tree due to its unique fan-shaped leaves and its reputation as a survivor tree, having survived for over 200 million years.
