The Maidenhair Tree is one of the oldest and most storied species on Earth — a living fossil unchanged for over 200 million years. Its distinctive fan‑shaped leaves, elegant branching, and brilliant golden fall color make it a standout in any refined landscape. Known for its exceptional resilience, the Ginkgo thrives where many other trees falter, tolerating urban conditions, poor soils, and a wide range of climates with ease.
