Ginkgo Biloba Autumn Gold

From the Ginko Biloba Information Pages at GincoBiloba.com

'Autumn Gold' is a male cultivar of the Gikgo Biloba tree. It's one of the most popular cultivars in the United States mainly because it can grow in a city enviroment in low quality soil. It's also virtually pest free, it's resistant to storm damage and it casts a dense shade which is great if you want shielding from the sun.

Being a male tree it will not have any fruits which is great in a city or garden setting as the fruits of the female ginkgo are know for their bad smell.
