Ginkgo or Maidenhair tree is revered for its beauty and its longevity. It is a living fossil, unchanged for more than 200 million years. Ginkgo trees have very beautiful unique leaves that turn glowing golden in the fall. There are male and female trees - the females produce a nut-like seed that is a delicacy in China. Do not stop to smell the pretty looking Ginkgo fruit - the flesh surrounding the seed smells like rancid butter. The tree is highly medicinal and used in tea and tincture form for many ailments.
Ginkgos are easy to grow, have no pest issues and are pollution resistant.
