The Park's treasures include a tennis court, golf course, vineyards, baseball field, dog run, tot park and a splendid reservoir and lush Fall landscape.
While gazing at all the beautiful vibrant leaves laying on the ground a sudden strong odor of old cheese or vomit was in the air.
This smell was disturbing on such a fabulous day! The odor was in the area of a fantastic 30-40 golden yellow tree. A woman was
searching for something under this golden tree. I was curious to know what she was looking for , and decided to stop and chat.
The bold golden tree is the Ginkgo biloba.The sweet lady hidden under her jacket was seeking out the magical medicinal fruit nut which the tree bears this time of year. The woman was a wonderful source of information for the Ginkgo and didn't want her face in my camera.
In order to bear fruit there must be a male and female tree looking at each other she stated. The female Ginkgo biloba bears the fruit nut.
The strong odor is from the fleshy outer skin of the fruit. This fruit is very popular among Chinese and Korean cultures for its medicinal purposes. When harvesting this fruit the fleshy skin must be removed by covering your hands with plastic gloves. The skin is very allergic to the juice of the Ginkgo fruit and avoid contact at all costs. Rinse the fruit with water, then heat the nut fruit in a frying pan until it cracks open. Inside is the medicinal nut that you eat. I was told not to eat more than 10 a day. The hidden nut is heathly eating for your lungs, blood circulation, memory and overall health.
Staten Island's Silver Lake area has a variety of housing. Whether you desire a Victorian mansion, pristine colonial, condo or apartment. The search for housing is as diverse as the community. The Silver Lake area located on Staten Island's North Shore is located west of Grymes Hill. Silver Lake's community is a short distance to downtown St.George and the Staten Island Ferry. There are plenty of buses accessible on the main roads of Victory Blvd., Forest Ave., and Castleton Ave. I suggest Stopping to chat with Staten Island's wonderful diverse residents. I love Learning about a new culture and embracing all Staten Island's North Shore has to offer. You will not be disappointed !
