    An narrow, pyramidal selection of the ginkgo tree, this male variety has intense golden fall color and is tolerant of salt, heat and urban conditions.

    This male clone grows to 60 ft. tall but only half as wide. With its strong central leader, its form is more pyramidal than truly columnar. Ginkgo 'Princeton Sentry®'

    A narrow columnar form--otherwise normal Ginkgo.

    By: Whitman Farms

    This tree was developed by Princeton Nurseries to be used as street trees in big cities such as NYC. This "dinosaur" of a tree is so incredibly tolerant of poor soil conditions, drought and air pollution that it will grow and thrive on city streets when not much else will. This is a male selection, as most cultivars are, so no stinky fruit to deal with in the fall. Fast growing, and very very tough.
