Product Overview
Hardiness zones 4-8,9
A fine male selection of this ancient tree that becomes a wonderful, wide spreading, symmetrical specimen reaching 40-50' with the gorgeous two-lobed leaves that Ginkgo's are famous for! They are also famous for their glorious golden color in autumn which lasts for several weeks before dropping (and for the beautiful yellow carpet they create when they do fall!). Male trees are generally preferred as they do not develop the unpleasant smelling fruit. Originally selected in 1951 by Maunsell Van Rensselaer in San Jose, California, and introduced by the Saratoga Horticultural Foundation in 1955, it is famous for its exceptionally uniform, shimmering golden-yellow autumn display. Current stock is apron. 4-5' tall. S/M
