The maidenhair tree, characterized by its substantial size, deciduous nature, and an irregular, spreading crown with deeply cracked brown bark, boasts fan-shaped leaves in a greenish-yellow hue, featuring two or more distinct lobes. As autumn sets in, the maidenhair tree transforms, displaying golden leaves that gracefully descend to the ground. Male trees exhibit pollen-producing floral spikes, while fertilized female counterparts bear round, fleshy, yellowish fruits containing a sizable seed and emitting an unpleasant scent. The maidenhair tree typically requires 20 to 35 years to reach maturity and initiate fruit-bearing.
