Ginkgo biloba 'Prince of Peace'

(Princeton Sentry Male Ginkgo)

Grown for its AWESOME golden-yellow fall foliage color AND for its NARROW growth-habit - perfect as a street tree and for spots in the garden when space is limited.


Leaves drop in winter after several weeks of color and return early the following spring.
'Princeton Sentry' is a male ginkgo - It is preferable to purchase a male ginkgo as female ginkgos produce a smelly fruit - The only good thing being they don't fruit until they reach 25 years or older!


Ginkgos are one of the very oldest trees in the world, recorded in early Biblical history.

Plants grow slowly to mature at about 30' or taller by ONLY 15' wide.
Expect only 6-12" growth a year.

Plant in sun to light shade.
