The Ginkgo plantation was started during the year
2001-2004. The main thrust of the programme was to develop Ginkgo
plantation of improved
cultivars.
Cultivars/Varieties
'Autumn Gold' (perhaps Autumn Gold™) - This male (non-fruiting) selection is common in
the trade and notable for its symmetrical crown that is broad and rounded. The
mature size is 50' tall with a 30' spread and fall color is an excellent deep
yellow.
'Jade Butterfly' - An unusual dwarf, slow-growing form, this plant has
bright green leaves and a mature height that is less than half that of standard
forms. It's an introduction out of New Zealand that is gaining popularity.
'Magyar' - An introduction that is gaining momentum in the trade,
this plant is a non-fruiting male with upright, ascending branching to 60' tall
and half as wide. It is well-suited to urban planting as a street tree.
'Pendula' (also listed as f. pendula) - Plants
listed under this name are quite variable, with few expressing a strong weeping
habit. Most bear branches that are horizontal or droop slightly
'PNI 2720' (Princeton Sentry®) - A very popular non-fruiting male
form, this form assumes an upright habit that tapers to the point. It reaches
60' tall, but only 25' wide.
'Saratoga' - Commonly offered, this plant has a strong central leader and
an upright, narrow habit (40' tall and 30' tall).
'Variegata' - Many different
clones are offered under this name, but most feature leaves that are
irregularly streaked with yellow.
