The branches are arranged in whorls, and the color of the long branches is light brownish yellow, but will turn gray. There are leaf scars on the short branches, and long branches will grow on them.

2. Leaves: The leaves of the ginkgo tree are fan-shaped, with long petioles, light green in color and hairless on the surface. Generally, the leaves on young trees and sprouting branches are deeply divided, and the lobes sometimes split again. The leaves are spirally shaped on long branches and clustered on short branches. In autumn, it turns yellow.

3. Flowers: As a gymnosperm, the ginkgo tree does not have true flowers, but has cone flowers. The cones are dioecious, with male cones drooping and stamens arranged loosely and with short stalks on them. The pedicels of female cones are longer and forked, with a bead seat at the top on which ovules grow.

4. Seeds: The ovules of the ginkgo tree will develop into seeds. The seeds are oval or ovate, 2.5-3.5 cm long, with a fleshy seed coat. When mature, they are yellow or orange-yellow with white powder on them. The endocarp is membranous and light reddish brown in color.
