This unique ginkgo grows leaves in assorted shapes – fan, strap or filament-shaped. All are bright green in summer and change to gorgeous yellow in fall. Grow it as a tree, or shear it as a shrub to keep the cool foliage at eye level. Adaptable and durable, it tolerates salt and drought and resists pests well.
