Ginkgo Maidenhair Tree
Ginkgo biloba is a living fossil. It has outlived the dinosaurs and is unchanged for 200 MILLION years!! It has unique fan shaped leaves and plum like yellow orange seeds on the female trees only. It has a distinct sculptural shape and brings a beautiful quality of light as the sun filters through its canopy. Autumn is a special time to be around a ginkgo tree — all its leaves turn bright yellow and are surrounded by a mythology of falling off the tree in a single blustery day.
Growing conditions: Plant in full sun. Tolerates a large range of soil types except for wet soils.
Size at maturity: 50’-75’
Uses: Ginkgo has been used throughout history to improve memory, thought and vision, treat anxiety and dizziness.
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-9
