The biggest I have seen are in the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis. Monsters, they are, several feet thick and probably 60-80 feet tall. I would call that mature. I don't know if they were male or female, but I didn't see any hint of flowers. I understand that the females make a big mess.
Chicago has a large number of 'mature' gingko trees in their downtown, particularly around the UIC campus area. They're quite lovely. Easily in the 60-80' range you mention.
I don't think they actually flower. They're very primitive. The males sprout a structure that produces pollen. The females produce a seeded ovule nut/berry (not technically a fruit). These are messy and have a strong odor. Males are preferred for planting.
