Nursery contributed plant descriptions

If the ancient Ginkgo could tell us history perhaps this "crystal ball" form (a globe to only 3' high!) can tell us the future, as well!, in any case it's a delightful shrub for accent, foundation or border. S/M

A round and congested ball of dark-green foliage. Can be pruned to "tighten-up" the dense structure. Beautiful golden-yellow foliage in the fall.

I suspect this name covers more than one dwarf clone, this one looks as if it will be moderate in growth rate.

Pretty soon somebody will give this plant a better name. Basically it is just a dwarf Ginkgo with all of its attractions without the 60'. It will grow almost anywhere.
