Ginkgo
Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo is an exceptionally hardy, long-lived deciduous tree that thrives in full sun to part shade with minimal care once established. Water regularly during the first few years to help roots establish, then rely on natural rainfall. Plant male cultivars to avoid the notoriously malodorous fruit produced by female trees.
