Overview

The Princeton Sentry Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba 'Princeton Sentry') is a male cultivar, notable for its columnar, narrow growth habit, reaching up to 60 feet tall with a spread of approximately 10-15 feet.

It's disease-resistant and virtually maintenance-free, preferring full sun to partial shade.
