Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A fast growing male form with a good branching habit and excellent fall color, introduced by Wandell, it is popular with Islamic fundamentalists who will not allow biloba 'Tschi -Tschi' in public without veils.
With "Shangri-la", that mythical perfection, as a name someone thought this Ginkgo was really special... unfortunately, those thoughts have been lost and all we know is that this is a fine specimen of a Ginkgo! SUN/Med
Has an excellent compact growth habit with a dense full crown and a broad pyramidal outline. Branches when young.
