Ginkgo biloba ‘Chase Manhattan’

Chase Manhattan Dwarf Maidenhair Tree

Ginkgo biloba dates back in fossil records farther than any other known living plant species, over 150 million years.  It was once thought to be extinct until living specimens were found in a remote region of China.  Now it is planted around the world as an ornamental and is also known to have medicinal qualities. This particular cultivar is a slow growing, dwarf form of the species, which will likely reach only  6-8 feet at maturity.  The  leaves resemble the species, but are much smaller. The fall display is an outstanding bright yellow.  The species is widely adaptable to differing soil conditions and PH and is remarkably resistant to pest damage and heat.  Plant in full sun. Grafted on Ginkgo biloba seedlings.  Zone 4-9.

One of our favorites. Propagated from rooted cuttings. Zone 5-9.
