Ginkgo biloba is a unique and ancient tree species that has been around for millions of years. Here are some key features and information about Ginkgo biloba 'Princeton':

  1. Appearance: Ginkgo biloba 'Princeton' is a deciduous tree with distinctive fan-shaped leaves that turn a bright yellow color in the fall before dropping. The leaves are bilobed, meaning they are divided into two lobes.

  2. Growth Habit: The tree typically has a pyramidal to upright, spreading growth habit. It can reach a considerable height, often exceeding 50 feet, although there are smaller cultivars suitable for smaller landscapes.

  3. Male and Female Trees: Ginkgo trees are dioecious, meaning they have separate male and female trees. Only the female trees produce the fruit, which has a foul-smelling pulp around the seed. Many cultivated varieties, including the 'Princeton' variety are male to avoid the odor produced by the fruit.

  4. Adaptability: Ginkgo biloba is known for its adaptability to various environmental conditions. It can tolerate pollution, urban environments, and a wide range of soil types.

  5. Longevity: Ginkgo trees are remarkably long-lived, and some specimens are known to be over 1,000 years old. They are often considered living fossils.

  6. Medicinal Uses: Extracts from Ginkgo biloba leaves are used in traditional medicine and supplements. They are believed to have potential cognitive and circulatory benefits. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using Ginkgo supplements.

  7. Cultural Significance: Ginkgo biloba has cultural and symbolic significance in various cultures, often representing longevity, resilience, and endurance. It is commonly planted in urban areas and gardens.

  8. Resilience: Ginkgo trees are known for their resilience, and they have survived significant environmental events, including the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

When planting Ginkgo biloba, it's crucial to consider its space requirements.

Ginkgo biloba is a fascinating and distinctive tree with a rich history, making it a valuable addition to both natural and cultivated landscapes.
