Gwonseon-gu Completes Harvest of Ginkgo Fruits from Street Trees

Gwonseon-gu, Suwon completed the harvest of ginkgo fruits from 4,386 street ginkgo trees naturally growing throughout the district, collecting 35 bundles (20kg per bundle) of ginkgo fruits.

Street trees are planted along roadsides to preserve horizontal landscape and provide shade. However, residents have been illegally harvesting ginkgo fruits, exposing themselves to safety hazards, and complaints have arisen due to the odor of the ginkgo fruits. To address these issues, the district office took direct action in the harvest.

The ginkgo fruit harvest was conducted by deploying in-house personnel, including work teams and local community job workers. Currently, sorting work is underway at the relevant department's storage yard.
