Ginkgo biloba · Maidenhair tree

Fan-shaped leaves and a color change that marks the arrival of autumn. The ginkgo adds a distinctive silhouette to the garden, initially more upright, with a crown that grows broader over the years.

• Format: 4-liter nursery pot, nominal diameter of 20 cm.

Its place in the garden

It can grow to over 12 m in the ground: it needs a permanent location with sufficient space. The sex of the specimen is not specified. Mature female specimens may produce fleshy structures with a strong odor; their seeds should not be ingested.

Essential care
