The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) began the annual spraying of the female ginkgo street trees last night. Spraying takes place between 9pm and 6am, when the weather cooperates. The "spraying serves to reduce the formation of mature ginkgo fruit, which emits an offensive smell when it falls on sidewalks and roadways." DDOT sprays Shield-3EC 24(C), the same spray it has used for two decades. The spraying order is as follows, Wards 5, 4, 3, 1, 2, 6, 7 and then 8. It will take several nights. There's no need to relocate vehicles. You can also check out a map showing the location of female ginkgo trees and their aggregation per neighborhood.
