Ginkgo
Considered a “living fossil“, Ginkgo trees have graced planet Earth for over 200 million years! It is a stately tree that tolerates pollution well and can thrive even in cities, where it is planted extensively. The leaves are one of the stand-out features. Fan shaped and green through summer, they turn one of the most striking shades of golden yellow in autumn. The leaves have also been used for centuries in teas as an aid to mental clarity and is reported to be quite effective in memory retention. Extremely gold hardy, down to zone 3! The nuts have also been used ROASTED by Asian cultures to make them edible, but they are naturally toxic raw so MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH if you intend to follow up with that! Male trees are fruitless, female trees bear fruit.
Zone 3-9
