Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our first offering of this new ginkgo. We found this plant a couple of years ago in a Portland area nursery. The dark green leaves have bright yellow stripes running through them. The leaves are small to medium sized for a ginkgo. We have had a G. biloba 'Variegata' and it reverts regularly but G. b. 'Summer Rainbow' doesn't seem to revert. Limited number available
