About Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgo conifer)

Ginkgo biloba - Ginkgo conifer  - It is a large, deciduous tree that matures to 100' tall and is considered to be a living fossil. It features distinctive two-lobed, somewhat leathery, fan-shaped, rich green leaves with diverging veins. Leaves turn bright yellow in fall. Ginkgo trees are commonly called maidenhair trees in reference to the resemblance of their fan-shaped leaves to maidenhair fern leaflets. Nurseries typically sell only male trees (fruitless), because female trees produce seeds encased in fleshy, fruit-like coverings which, at maturity in autumn, are messy and emit a noxious, foul odor upon falling to the ground and splitting open. Family : Ginkgoaceae
