Weeping maidenhair tree
Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as ginkgo or gingko, also known as the maidenhair tree, is the only living species in the division Ginkgophyta, all others being extinct. It is a very old species, with some fossils dating back 270 million years. Native to China, the tree is widely cultivated.
The cultivar Ginkgo biloba 'Pendula' is an extramely graceful and weeping specimen tree, with beautiful broad fans of fern-like foliage. The leaves turn golden-yellow in autumn and holds well on the tree until it falls cleanly to the ground. It is a deciduous tree that grows at a moderate rate to reach 4m (H) x 3m (W) in 10 years.
