Ginkgo biloba 'Princeton Sentry' Common Names: Ginkgo

Description:

Ginkgo is a relic tree species that is well adapted to city conditions. It has attractive, clean green fan shaped leaves which develop a clear yellow fall color. Its form is pyramidal, broadening with age and becoming picturesque. Sexes are separate. Female trees develop a malodorous, fleshy seed about 1" in diameter. Male trees are often propagated and planted to eliminate the problem. Prefers a good loam soil with adequate moisture. Easily transplanted but growth rate is slow especially following transplanting. Adaptable to a wide range of soil pH. Tolerant of air pollution.

Problems:

The odor and messy litter of the fleshy seed has prompted some cities to pass ordinances banning the planting of female Ginkgo trees.
