Ginkgo biloba

Witness to the birth and extinction of countless species over a period of 250 million years, Ginkgo survives to charm us with its unique fan-shaped leaves and butter-yellow fall color. Consider that even after Hiroshima, at ground zero it was the lone surviving tree species the following spring. Merits wider use: Many new grafted male cultivars are becoming very popular. These are un-sexed seedlings, used almost exclusively for grafting.
