Ginkgo biloba 'Autumn Gold' form
Typically described as a symmetrical broad conical form, 50' x 30'. Probably has been the most planted cultivar in the recent past. Slow but has good fall color and form. Here is a young tree on the University of Alabama campus in Huntsville. Probably a little over 15 years old and currently about 15' tall.

Odd you say?
This is an odd tree. No smell though. Just an odd form. This tree is Ginkgo biloba 'Chi-Chi' (also known as 'Tschi-Tschi'). This is an image of a Ginkgo biloba 'Tschi-Tschi' at the JC Raulston Arboretum in North Carolina.

Keeping this alive
Here is a male Ginkgo that I have found growing in the Tennessee Valley. I call it Penny Lane. I don't believe it to be a known cultivar but is a well formed male tree grown from seed. I have been budding and side-grafting a few of them but have not registered it yet. It is a most handsome tree with a magnificent form.

My parents have a female tree at their house, but they love it so much, they put up with the fruit smell. I'd like to get some saplings from them. Any way to tell what sex the tree is? Looking under the roots didn't help...

A little slow and they are said to grow on a little slower also. Most cultivars are grafted. A good thing about a tree on it's own roots is that, once established, if it is damaged, destroyed or if you want to cut it down it will regenerate true to form. Most of mine are grafted. I have a few on their own roots.
Tks. An old neighbor has one but I have no rootstock to put it on.(unless apple tree M-7,Bud-9, or M-111 would work) I know the answer.
I do have about 60 sq. ft. of mist bed I can make space with. I'm thinking maybe a good Christmas gift for folks down the road.

Look for flowers or wait for that attractive fruit accompanied by the aroma. Usually 15 to 30 years. If it doesn't have fruit by then, assume that it is male. If you can catch it in flower and spot the catkin looking staminate flowers, you can definitely say it is male.

Actually the first "b" in biloba, the species name, is not capitalized.

Oh I get it...you, as a degreed horticulturist, were making light of Jomoco's clumsy misspelling of this species.:hmm3grin2orange:
Here is my crane removal cat...problem is they fly away from the tree before she can get to them.
