Ohazuki Ginkgo is a female selection that will produce fruit. This selection is slow growing and will mature in ten years to a small sized tree 6-13 feet tall with a broad spreading habit. This Ginkgo has large leaves and beautiful yellow fall color, and being a female tree, if pollinated, it will produce the distinctive smelly fruit in the fall. The Ginkgo nut is not edible raw. The hard seed inside the fruit, if properly roasted, is considered a delicacy in many cultures. The Ginkgo is an ancient deciduous conifer and evidence has been found which shows this tree coexisted with the dinosaurs. 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. Insignificant green flowers appear in the spring. Ginkgo has wonderful yellow fall color. It produces stout spurs along the branches; these spurs and the stiff branches give the Ginkgo a formal, stiff, spiky appearance in winter. Golden yellow fall color is outstanding.
