Ginkgo Biloba

SteveW you think ?? lol both my young ones are leaving up nicely, one is branching very well the other is not, so better make sure it will branch soon too, lol

 

Yes it is leafing up (I think was a ref to the good for memory ) How big are yours (pardon the expression)

 

Steve pardon ???? lol about 24" / 28" in its 2nd and 3rd year.

 

Mines just a baby about 12" high..the leaves look so delicate don't they

 

Yes what a picture in autumn tho, almost pure yellow. Did you know, they are listed under conifers ? Maidenhair tree...the only conifer to my knowledge to be deciduous. They must have decided on this 200 million years ago, were you there then Steve lol

The Larch is also deciduous Ladybird

Ginkgo is unique and on its own as neither a conifer or a broadleaf..have a peek here
