Ginkgo biloba 'Denise' was grown from a seedling in 2004 that originated from a tree that is only 50 cm wide after 30 years at a height of 8 m. It was selected by Frans van der Bom in Oudenbosch, province North Brabant, in the Netherlands and propagated in 2008 by Ad van Aart who named this variety after the finder's wife. This is a strong fastigiate tree, which makes a striking focal point.
