Another contender for the oldest ginkgo is in Mobile, Alabama, next to my sister's house. I could send you a picture if you'd like...
Another really old ginkgo tree is growing on the grounds of the Gibson House in Jamestown, Pennsylvania. This particular tree, a female, was smuggled by Dr. William Gibson from China. The ground around it is littered with saplings, and a far younger male of the species grows only a few feet away.
