Arborist Needed - Gingko tree (school, garden, agriculture)

[treehugger72]

Can anyone recommend a good arborist? I need someone to help me stop/reduce the fruit production of a smelly Gingko tree. Thanks.

David Kannapell is a fine arborist who helps us take care of some big old trees. Try reaching him early in the morning or evening. Sorry, I've forgotten if he is David E or David H, but one is his Dad so you can't go too far wrong!

I can't recommend an arborist for you, but I found another site where they were addressing your exact problem, and suggested spraying the tree with "Florel."

Another option discussed is to use high pressure water to blast the blooms off before they become fruit. The problem with that is that if the pressure is too high, you might also strip the tree of its foliage.

You might also contact U of K's Agriculture/Horticulture school to see if they can recommend someone to you, or if they have other suggestions to try.
