In the industry now they are using male clones. The females are wind pollinated by the males. Last time I saw a female ginkgo was at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home.

In regard to your own tree, @FuzzyFace, I suggest calling in an arborist to examine the root system. It’s highly likely that one of the roots is starting to girdle & causing that wilting look of the leaves. The arborist comes in, digs down & looks for evidence of girdling. The root gets cut so the leaves can be fed from a different root area. A deep root feeding is usually done at that time.

Wow! I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the information.
