Default Ginkgo Biloba

A question about Ginkgo Biloba trees:

I have five very young trees. Three are cuttings and therefor very likely

to
be male. The two others look like to be grown from seeds. Now my question:
how many Ginkgos from 100 seeds are male and how many are female? I

vaguely
remember there would be more female than male plants, but what are the

exact
numbers?

If you're asking because you want to know the sex of the seedlings as
distinct from just general interest, you would have to have them sexed with
a sex profiling procedure (similar to if you send a feather of a
hard-to-sex bird to a sexing lab.) On the other hand if you're planning to
live a long long life and your plants flower you'll know they're female.
