Gorgeous, ancient trees in a petite, small-garden-friendly form. These dwarf trees are densely branched, vase-shaped with striking bright green leaves and absolutely incredible gold fall color. 

'Jade Butterflies' is a fruitless male Ginkgo, with inconspicuous yellow-green catkins in mid-spring. 

Slow-growing, eventually becoming a stunning shade tree with age. Long lived. Deciduous.

Full sun.

15'T x 10'W.

💚Plant Nerd: These trees are considerd to be living fossils, as this species has been seemingly unchanged for over 100 million years. They are the lone survivor of Ginkgo genus, which was once widespread across many areas of the planet. Amazing! 

In China, many old temples were planted with female and male ginkgoes, to ensure the monks had food to eat. The nuts are usually boiled or roasted.

For happy trees, fertilize in spring with Espoma Tree-Tone organic fertilizer.
