Ginkgo biloba I.D.

Planted in 1988 at 5 ft. tall.

Appears to be a seedling. No evidence of a graft.

As you can see a narrow growth habit with all limbs growing somewhat on the vertical. Unlike all Ginkgo's growing in my area of Eastern Kansas which are shorter in stature with more girth.

Are you trying to determine if it is a particular cultivar?

"Are you trying to determine if it is a particular cultivar"?

Since I have only small dwarf Ginkgo cultivars I am not sure if this is species or some cultivar. How to put a handle on it I am not quite sure.

I am hoping someone can identify it. I know it's a long shot.

If a seedling, would it be named?

Growth is similar to 'Sentry'.

That is what we'd consider a fine specimen that has superior branching and a strong central leader. More so than many named cultivars.

Would you say this tree is about 35' tall? If so it is quite vigorous as well.

I'd say it is Ginkgo biloba for sure. Definitely not any of the other species of Ginkgo.

(or have you got a secret time machine the rest of us don't know about? ;-)

I don't see other Ginkgo species mentioned. Is the new edit feature making posts completely vanish? If so, this could get confusing fast.
