But the ginkgo is one landscape tree that holds the imagination and esteem like as does a Japanese maple or some weeping specimens. In the landscape, the Ginkgo biloba is one of our outstanding trees.
People tend to develop a relationship with the ginkgo as they grow it and see it every day.
In talking to gardeners who have gingkos, that is how they feel about these statuesque specimens in the landscape. Most people know this tree as an import from the Far East but almost no one knows that fossil records show it is native to North America. This fact points out that this species is as old as the hills. The ginkgo has a unique pyramidal form and 45-degree branching. It is an exceptionally long-lived tree so your children's children will thank you for planting it.
