Ginkgo biloba
Tree Description:
Ginkgo trees are one of the oldest tree species in the world! Ginkgo trees are known for their unusual fan shaped leaves that turn yellow in the fall. Ginkgo trees can grow up to 80 feet in height and are pest resistant so many municipalities use these trees in parkways and parks. However, male Ginkgo trees are preferred as the female trees produce a fruit that can be messy and very smelly.
