Ginkgo biloba 'Jade Butterfly'

Dwarf ginkgos are notoriously slow growing, and 'Jade Butterfly' Ginkgo is no exception. Ultimately vase-shaped, this variety is typically four to six feet tall in 10 years, and may eventually reach 10 to 12 feet in height with a 10 foot spread. Jade green, bi-lobed leaves that resemble butterflies turn a beautiful golden yellow in the fall. Grow in full sun, either in the ground or in a large container planter, for best results.

For those who have heard horror stories of female ginkgo trees dropping smelly, messy fruits in the fall, fear not, 'Jade Butterfly' is a fruitless male tree. No mess, just beautiful form and color.
