Ginkgo biloba Princeton Sentry is the male Maidenhair Tree. Uniquely columnar in habit, it grows 10 to 15 feet in 10 to 12 years, maturing to 60 to 70 feet. With no malodorous fruits, this male is very popular for its striking pattern of radiating branches, great winter hardiness, and outstanding brilliant gold fan-like fall leaves.

Impervious to insects and diseases, Princeton Sentry prefers well-drained soil and grows fastest with ample water. Zones 4-9.
