Ginkgo biloba BonsaiDioecious, deciduous conifer with a crown that develops unevenly, rather narrow. Grey, corky bark becoming deeply furrowed in adult plants. Unusual and very decorative, anshaped leaves, pale green in spring, darker green to greyish in summer and in autumn they turn a wonderful pure yellow without any trace of orange or brown. When the leaves fall in autumn they form an amazing yellow carpet at the foot of the tree. Insignificant flowers followed, only on the female plants, by fleshy fruit which gives off an unpleasant smell when ripe. The flowering and fructification starts when the tree is adult, even at forty years. Very hardy, grows well in all types of soil but is more luxuriant and regular if grown in deep substratum from acid to alkaline. Tolerates calcareous soil, withstands pollution.
