Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This select male clone boasts a compact, upright habit to 25-40'. Its best feature is its distinctive, drooping, narrow and deeply cut leaves (like fish tails) which give it a lovely, lacey appearance; especially gorgeous in fall when they are richly golden. 'Saratoga' makes a fine street or lawn tree. Male trees are chosen if you prefer not to deal with odoriferous Ginkgo fruits (delicacy though they are!). S/M

Deciduous. A compact ovular to conical crown with dense foliage. Deeply cut narrow foliage gives the tree a lacey look.

One of our favorites, an attractive male selection with narrow, elongated leaves. Definitely a "top three" selection.

A male clone from the Saratoga Horticultural Foundation; our stock plant is an irregular vase shaped multi-trunked specimen with dense rather slender leaves and supposedly excellent fall color, which seems to me to be about the same yellow as any other Ginkgo.
