Ginkgo biloba 'Princeton Sentry'
A living fossil, Ginkgo biloba, whose green leaves turn brilliant yellow in the fall, has been growing for 100 million years. Tolerating a wide range of conditions, ginkgoes are resistant to diseases, pest and even atomic bombs: In Hiroshima ginkgoes devastated by the 1945 blast are still growing today. All-male variety, thus no smelly fruit. Outstanding golden yellow fall foliage.
