They look a little like the fruit of a very
fine tree cultivated in Japan for centuries
-- the Maiden Hair tree. If the fruit stinks
like crap it might be from this tree --
Ginkgo biloba. Its a living fossil, only with
us because it was so highly regarded by the
Japanese. Normally one only finds male trees
in gardens the females are kept far away (in
nurseries) where they won't make passers by
sick to their stomachs.
