Ginkgo tree

15 years ago

Hi group:

I thought I'd share my excitement about buying a Monrovia Ginkgo tree recently. While I know they're marginal in Phoenix, I thought i'd give it a try because they're such special trees. I remember seeing them line Harlem Avenue in suburban Chicago- just beautiful, especially in the autumn! Best wishes, Rich.

I love ginkgo trees too and always enjoy their beautiful autumn show, and those great blue green duckfoot shaped leaves. Definitely keep us posted on when/where/how you plant it and how it does.

Take care and thanks for sharing your fun experiment!
