The Ginkgo is the only surviving member of a group of prehistoric plants believed to have inhabited the Earth up to 150 million years ago! Have fun with caring for a "living fossil bonsai" with this choice! 

It has a one-of-a-kind look with its stunning lime green two-lobed fan shaped leaves that turn into a golden sunshine yellow in the fall. They're low maintenance and generally grow slowly in an upright pattern. Their tall thin trunks with multi-stemmed branches makes them great to use in forest style bonsai or as individuals. It's also known as the Maidenhair Tree.

'Chi Chi' is a variant that has smaller leaf size and a textured bumpy trunk compared to the regular Ginkgo Biloba tree. Its cultivar name translates as "breasts" in reference to unusual swellings (clusters of dormant buds) which appear on the bark of trees as they mature in age; usually after 10 years.

For Deciduous Trees:
Please note that during the mid to late fall months, deciduous trees will lose all of their leaves/foliage to go into dormancy for winter. They will have barren branches and will be extra sensitive to shipping stress during mid-fall and all of winter. If we try to ship them during this dormancy time, it is considered extremely high risk. We reserve the right to refuse to take orders for these trees during their dormancy period from around October to February.
