Saturday September 9, 2006
ginkgo biloba leaf pictureGinkgo biloba trees are the oldest in the world, lone survivors of a family that shared the earth with dinosaurs. However, Ginkgo biloba trees eventually vanished in all regions but the Far East, where, thankfully, they were preserved by Buddhist monks. Find out more about Ginkgo biloba trees in this article, including what they offer to landscaping. The picture at right shows a ginkgo biloba leaf just starting to morph into its fall color.

David;

My favorite large tree for Northern Climates. Greatly underused.

Let me thank you again for listing me as the Blog for Landscape Design. On a side note Blogger has put me on their Blogs of Note.

Keep cranking out the good material over here-It’s easy to see you care about what you’re doing.
