This quickly became what may be the most popular clone of Ginkgo biloba. This is due to its fastest growth of any selection, (Happy nurserymen and plant farms) consistent leaf shape, and rich golden-yellow fall color. Extremely adaptable to virtually any soil or aspect. (Actually, soil adaptability is due to rootstock, which is invariably a random seedling, which are extremely adaptable nonetheless)

This cultivar cannot be reproduced from seed, (Obviously, as it is a male clone) only grafting or stem-cuttings.
