    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    It's amazing the history behind some cultivars-this Ginkgo, the first in Europe from Japan, arrived in Holland in the early 1700's and in England by the mid 1700's when it was planted at Kew, where it still resides! 'Kew' is a testament to the beauty and longevity of these marvelous trees. S/M
