Ginkgo biloba Chi-Chi |
A Chinese form, shrubby rather than tree-like, this plant is highly regarded in China where, in time, it will produce breast-like protrusions from its trunk. Quite quick growing when young but will slow to become a knarled, curious shape. A classic piece of botanic history! Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size.

Ginkgo biloba Elsie |
Our own selection of an upright growing, female plant found near to our nursery in Kent. This tree is isolated from any others and yet, in favourable years, sets sterile fruit without the aid of a pollinator. These fruits are highly prized in China for their medicinal and culinary values. But, be warned, the fruit has an odour described as rancid butter! Having said this the fruit is really quite ornamental, resembling small, yellow apricots on long, pendulous stems which persist on the tree long after the leaves have dropped. Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size.

Ginkgo biloba Fairmount
|
An American selection producing a tall, fastigiated tree of great architectural value. Very suitable for a small garden as all the growth is upright and very narrow. This photograph demonstrates clearly its neat, upright habit. Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size.

Ginkgo biloba Horizontalis |
As the name suggests the habit of this tree is remarkably flat growing and although it may be trained upright initially, in time this plant will resemble a huge umbrella. Marvellous in pots where it quickly assumes a strikingly shaped plant. Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size.

Ginkgo biloba Pendula |
Similar to Horizontalis in its early stages but its growth is pendulous. It may also be trained in its early stages but is a fascinating plant if left to its own devices. Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size.

Ginkgo biloba Saratoga |
Another American selection from the famous Saratoga Research Institute. This is a shrubby plant, the foliage is much narrower and resembles small, half open fans. Quite dense growing, overall an enchanting lacy outline in the landscape. Again very good in pots. Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size.

Ginkgo biloba Troll |
A lovely form, with compact bushy growth. Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size. |
|
|
Ginkgo biloba Tubifolia |
A fascinating shrubby tree with quite thin and twiggy growth. This forms two types of foliage, on mature wood the leaf is fused to resemble a small green trumpet while the younger wood produces a classic ginkgo leaf but with a more jagged outline. It could even be described as dissected. As the tree matures the majority of the foliage will be trumpet shaped. This is a highly sought after variety.
Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size.

Ginkgo biloba Umbrella |
When we first grew this plant we assumed the name referred to the plant’s ultimate shape, but we now feel that the name refers to the leaf shape. It first appears as a two inch green spike which, as the season progresses, unfurls like an umbrella into a well proportioned fan-shaped leaf. The plant has a pleasing effect mid season with its fully opened leaves mixed with its ‘unfurled umbrellas’. Shrubby growth, a classic container plant.
Available as 2 year old plants in 3 litre pot size.
