Ginkgo is a slow growing tree that’s very interesting to look at, and it’s a very old genus – suspected to be from the Jurassic period.

This cultivar is ‘Autumn Gold’ which is a fairly common male cultivar. I hear the flowers on the females don’t smell good, but I’ve never experienced it. It will grow full size – about 80′ but in a VERY long time. It turns an amazing gold in the fall – so pretty.

Every fall middle school students would scour the nursery for leaves for their fall biology projects, and everyone was excited to get these! Fan shaped leaves are hard to come by!
