Ginko Tree Question

About 3 years ago we bought our current home and it came with a female ginko tree in the front yard. We soon figured out that the fruit it drops is messy, stinky and there’s a lot of it. We are considering removing the tree because of the mess. But last year it didn’t drop fruit! Hmmm. Any ideas why? Is this a birds and the bees thing? – maybe it didn’t get pollinated. If it continues to NOT drop fruit we’ll keep the tree – it’s a beautiful tree. Thank you!

My best suggestion is to contact a certified arborist. You have a female tree. Maybe erratic fruit production is normal, but I didn't see it noted anywhere in the research. Here is a link to a page with several articles about gingko trees:
