Ginkgo Biloba ~*

Got this one from a local nursery. Really awesome ancient tree. Had this one about 6 months now and didn't like the heat of summer too much but is picking back up now autumn is here. Has really distinct foliage. Like lots of water during the hotter times. Some people are allergic to this plant so be mindful of that if you choose to grow it. Supposed to take upto 25 odd years to crown. Has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Is good for circulation and blood flow to the brain. May have applications in dementia and similar conditions. Love this plant :)
