Ginkgo biloba – Ancient Beauty with Golden Autumn Glow 🍂🌳
 
Timeless, unique, and full of character, Ginkgo biloba — also known as the Maidenhair Tree — is a living fossil revered for its striking fan-shaped leaves, graceful form, and rich autumn colour. With origins dating back over 200 million years, this deciduous tree brings a sense of history and elegance to any garden or landscape. 🌿🌀
 
In spring and summer, its bright green foliage creates a soft, layered canopy. Come autumn, the leaves turn a brilliant butter-yellow before carpeting the ground in gold. Tolerant of urban pollution, poor soils, and tough conditions, Ginkgo is both a survivor and a standout. 🏙️🍁
