Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo biloba is a slow-growing, long-lived deciduous tree renowned for its graceful form and striking foliage. Its unique, fan-shaped green leaves resemble maidenhair fern and transform into a brilliant golden-yellow in autumn, creating a spectacular seasonal display.
 
This tree is highly valued not only for its ornamental appeal but also for its medicinal properties, as its leaves are commonly used in herbal teas. Female trees produce small, plum-like cones with an outer flesh that has a strong odor, though the inner kernel is edible and sweet.
 
Ginkgo biloba thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring well-drained soil with regular watering during the warmer months. It is a low-maintenance tree, benefiting from occasional fertilization to support healthy growth. Ideal as a striking lawn or garden specimen, Ginkgo biloba adds a touch of elegance to any landscape.
