Shades of Ginkgo Tree

Some people are born with green thumbs. My grandmother and my mother, for example, can grow plants easily. I can take care of plants like water them everyday, but raising them from seed, nah!

But if you love gardening and raising rare plants, this post is for you. You might be interested about the site I just stumbled today. The site is selling ginkgo tree. If you’re not familiar with ginkgo tree, it is a non-flowering tree and has no known close living relatives. Historically, Ginkgo tree was one of the first varieties of modern trees to ever exist. It is said to be as old as 270 million years.

Based on description provided on the site, its leaves become a vibrant yellow in the fall and can grow upwards of 100′ in height over a thousand year period.
