Upright, Narrow Ginkgo + Golden Fall Color

Why Princeton Sentry™ Columnar Ginkgo Trees?

Merging the effortless durability and longevity of a classic Ginkgo with a new, upright form, the Princeton Sentry™ Columnar Ginkgo is perfect for those who love the look of a timeless shade tree but don't have much space in their landscape.

And its eye-catching, golden-yellow fall foliage can't be beaten. Despite its slow growth and ability to acclimate well to tighter spaces, it delivers a huge amount of color that's hard to find from other varieties. Plus, because it's virtually pest- and disease-free, you won't have to bother with harsh chemicals or sprays...simply plant your Princeton Sentry™ and forget it.

It's even drought tolerant once established and tolerates poor soil conditions. That means there's no guesswork in growing...whether you live in a climate that sees frigid temperatures down to -40 degrees or some parts of the south.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

Tree is just a little

Tree is just a little shaver (4'-5'), so it's difficult to tell how well this will develop into the columnar shape of a mature Ginkgo. The tree was well packaged and arrived with only minor damage to individual leaves and a couple small branches. The large leaf size was a bit of a surprise and welcomed. Based on our experience with this order we ordered four more citrus fruit trees from Fast Growing Trees. Abusive handling by FedEx resulted in significant damage to one of these trees which Fast Growing Trees is replacing under warranty.

Media from review #1
Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Karl, so glad it arrived well packaged and that those large leaves were a welcome surprise! We do specialize in younger trees that establish quickly and adapt readily to new environments and your Princeton Sentry Ginkgo is going to develop beautifully into that stunning columnar shape over time. We're sorry to hear about the damage to one of your citrus trees and we're glad our team is taking care of that replacement. We really appreciate your continued trust and we'd love to have you back!

So far so good

The tree arrived in great shape. Because of the amount of recent rain that we have had, I've had to temporarily plant it in a pot, but it is doing very well.
