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.

Suggested Uses

Ideal for use as a specimen tree in gardens, parks, and urban landscapes. Its compact size makes it suitable for smaller spaces, and it can also be grown in large containers. The tree's striking fall color provides seasonal interest, and its unique form adds architectural beauty to any setting.
