Description
- One of the oldest trees on earth, and often referred to as a “living fossil”, ginkgo trees are as impressive as they are ancient; they’ve been around for more than 200 million years – talk about longevity!
- The wonderful flabellate (fan-shaped) leaves start out a lime green colour in spring and summer before taking on honeyed, amber shades in the autumn months
- Ginkgo trees also typically drop their leaves all at once (or at least within a very short timespan) rather than gradually, like other deciduous trees, providing an incredibly impressive display
- Fully hardy (RHS H6) and easy to grow, these grand, ol’ trees are a great option as a focal point for larger gardens
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth
