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

But the best part about your Princeton Sentry™ Columnar Ginkgo Tree goes beyond its good looks. For starters, this tree is specifically chosen, hand-selected by horticulturists and experts…so it’s a proven performer.

Plus, because it’s planted, monitored, and shipped with care, roots intact, you reap the rewards of our hard work.

Cute Little Tree

We have wanted a gingko for a long time and are happy we purchased this variety that stays on the small side and doesn’t produce berries. The tree arrived with leaf buds already (March, zone 8), which was a pleasant surprise. Since planting a few days ago, it’s leafing out very nicely already and seems happy in its spot. Looking forward to some beautiful color this fall! 4 stars due to 2 small broken branches (I do understand it must be a bit of a challenge shipping larger trees - this one is taller than 5’) and a noticeably curved trunk, which hopefully won’t affect overall health of the tree over time.

The tree arrived in great

The tree arrived in great condition and after a week and a half, it's already starting to sprout leaves. I couldn't be happier about my order with Fast Growing Trees.

Planted and looking good!

First time user and the experience was great! One tree came damaged by the shipping company and FastGrowing replaced it immediately. All and all it went very much as planned. And good value too!

The trees arrived healthy. I planted them same day, and they are thriving 3 months later.
