Ginkgo Tree a is a large slow-growing deciduous tree with distinctive two-lobed fan shaped foliage that turns bright yellow in fall. Grows best with full sun and moist, sandy well-drained soils. Nurseries typically only sell male trees, as the female trees have messy fruit that emit a foul odor when ripe.
