Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This beautiful 60' tree is named for its exceptional golden autumn color. Perfect for the ornamental, edible garden as it produces delicious Ginkgo nuts! Any male cultivar will pollinate this fine selection; the almond-sized seed of this handsome and prolific tree are a delicacy. The seed's husk smells very unpleasant so keep that in mind when selecting a planting site and do wear gloves when harvesting the nuts as the husks can cause poison oak like symptoms in sensitive individuals.
