Ginkgo ‘The President’, also know as PRESIDENTIAL GOLD ®, was select by plantsman Dr. Michael Dirr. This is a male clone and will not produce the distinctive strong smelling fruit in the fall. PRESIDENTIAL GOLD ® Ginkgo has full branching crown when young and a strong central leader. This is large tree suitable for a shade tree or a garden centerpiece. It has the typical Ginkgo outstanding golden yellow fall color and is drought tolerant. Ginkgo is sometimes called the maidenhair tree due to its beautiful fan shaped leaves that resemble a maidenhair fern frond. It is one of the most pollution-tolerant trees and works well in the city. The Ginkgo is an ancient deciduous conifer and evidence has been found which shows this tree coexisted with the dinosaurs.

Tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, including both alkaline and acidic soils and compacted soils. Also tolerant of saline conditions, air pollution and heat.
