Description

An unusual new selection, Ginkgo biloba 'Jade Butterflies' is slow growing with a distinctive, shrubby habit and clumps of small, dark green leaves which are said to look like a butterfly's wings. In autumn, the leaves turn bright, golden-yellow before falling. A superb Ginkgo for a small garden or for growing in a large container.
