Its has very distinctive fan shaped leaves. Also the tree has “spikey” but slender overall appearance make it easy to spot.  

Ginkgo's are dioecious, with separate sexes, some trees being female and others being male.

This is a male tree, as are the majority of the ones people plant. Although is the possible for the tree to change its sex.

The female tree produces fruits that have a very distinctive bad smell. Like sewage or vomit. Although they are supposed to be edible called silver apricots. The fleshy fruit contains a nut that is also edible. The female is therefore rarely planted. 

Supposedly a street in London is lined with them. You would think such a street would be well known but I have not be able to find any details. 

The smell is a real problem  https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2023/06/113_336848.html

A possible reason for the rancid smell of the ginkgo berries, is because it actually attracted dinosaurs to consume (and later discharge) the berries, helping to spread the seeds.

The Ginkgo is a native of China.

Occasionally grown in gardens. 

Leaves are used by some people to make tea

Ginkgos are large trees, normally reaching a height of 20–35 m (66–115 ft),[15] with some specimens in China being over 50 m (165 ft). The tree has an angular crown and long, somewhat erratic branches, and is usually deep rooted and resistant to wind and snow damage. Young trees are often tall and slender, and sparsely branched; the crown becomes broader as the tree ages. A combination of resistance to disease, insect-resistant wood, and the ability to form aerial roots and sprouts makes ginkgos durable, with some specimens claimed to be more than 2,500 years old

A leaflet produced by the Wirral Borough Council makes the following statement.

Although 4 Gingko did survive, in total 170 trees also survived  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/stories-52459140

in  addition an estimated 650,000 people "The Hibakusha" survived the atomic blasts, only to find their post-war lives marred by health issues and marginalization.

So the leaflet is not only factually wrong its an insult to the suffering of thousands of people
