Description

The Ginkgo biloba 'Chi Chi', commonly known as the Chi Chi' Maidenhair Tree, is a unique cultivar of the ancient ginkgo tree. Known for its fan-shaped leaves and vibrant yellow fall color, this tree is a living fossil, with a lineage dating back over 200 million years. 'Chi Chi' is particularly noted for its smaller size and ornamental appeal, making it suitable for urban gardens and landscapes.
