Princeton Sentry Ginkgo
Ginkgo biloba ‘Princeton Sentry’
Ginkgo biloba 'Princeton Sentry'is a superior, male cultivar of the ancient maidenhair tree, prized for its dense, narrowly columnar to conical crown and brilliant golden-yellow fall color. This slow-growing, deciduous tree is a perfect choice for urban landscapes and tighter spaces, offering the legendary toughness, pest resistance, and longevity of the Ginkgo in a refined, upright form. Its distinctive, fan-shaped leaves emerge a medium green in spring, hold their color well through summer, and transform into a stunning, uniform golden-yellow in autumn. As a fruitless male clone, it produces none of the messy, foul-smelling fruit associated with female trees, making it an exceptionally clean and low-maintenance specimen for streets, parks, and residential gardens.
