Comments:
The male flowers of this dioecious are yellowish catkins in early spring. At the same time, two long stalked flowers look like small persimmons are produced on female trees. When these fruit ripen in the fall, they can be quite messy beneath the tree. Ginkgo is reported to have grown as much as 150 million years ago in Asia. It is one of the best species producing yellow-gold autumn color.
