(nl) "Dit is een mannelijke ginkgo. In het verleden zijn er diverse vrouwelijke takken op geënt. Daarvan is er één overgebleven en deze is gaan wortelen. Op de foto's uit januari 2014, zie je daarop zaden. Links heeft zich een soort heksenbezem gevormd.
Meer informatie over deze boom is te vinden in het Landelijk Register Monumentale Bomen van de Bomenstichting."
