We have a Ginkgo at work and it is a beautiful tree! Ours is a male, which means it doesn't bloom. That is a good thing because I have heard the blooms smell like rotting meat! It turns a lovely shade of yellow in the fall before dropping it's leaves which seems to happen all at once. A Ginkgo tree has been on my wish list for quite some time but I have not seen them in nursery's here. It kind of scares me that I could end up with a female tree which is another reason I haven't looked too hard for one.
