The Ginkgo Biloba Princeton Sentry is
commonly known as the Princeton Sentry Ginkgo.
The Princeton Sentry ia a very popular
non-fruiting male form, this form assumes an upright habit that tapers
to the point. It reaches a height of 60 feet tall, but is only 25 feet
wide.
It is a large, deciduous tree with an upright
habit that tapers to the point. The leaves turn a bright yellow in the
fall.
Ginkgoes are dioecious (separate male and
female trees). Female trees are very undesirable because they 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. As a result, nurseries today generally sell only male cultivars (which
are "fruitless").
The Princeton Sentry is an all-male cultivar
typically growing at maturity to 40 to 50 feet tall with an upright, narrowly
conical habit. Leaves turn a uniform golden yellow in autumn (spectacular
when backlit by early morning or late afternoon sun) and persist for several
weeks. When the leaves do drop, they drop rapidly, forming a golden carpet
around the tree.
Ginkgos are very large trees, normally
reaching a height of 60 to 115 feet, with some specimens in China being
over 164 feet. The tree has an angular crown and long, somewhat erratic
branches, and is usually deep rooted and resistant to wind and snow damage.
Young trees are often tall and slender, and sparsely branched; the crown
becomes broader as the tree ages.
A combination of resistance to disease,
insect-resistant wood and the ability to form aerial roots and sprouts
makes ginkgos very long-lived, with some specimens claimed to be more than
2,500 years old: A 3,000 year-old ginkgo has been reported in Shandong
province in China.
The ginkgo genus is the only surviving
member of a group of ancient plants believed to have inhabited the earth
for more than 150 million years.
