Grow one of the oldest living tree species on Earth with Ginkgo Tree Seeds (Ginkgo biloba). Often called the maidenhair tree, the ginkgo is a unique and hardy deciduous tree known for its beautiful fan-shaped leaves and brilliant golden fall color. With a history dating back over 200 million years, ginkgo trees are considered “living fossils” and are prized for their ornamental beauty, longevity, and resilience.
Ginkgo trees are extremely adaptable and thrive in a wide range of climates and soil conditions. Once established, they are low maintenance, drought tolerant, and highly resistant to pests and pollution, making them a popular choice for parks, streets, and home landscapes. Mature trees can reach 50–80 feet tall and create a stunning shade tree with a distinctive branching structure.
Growing a ginkgo tree from seed allows gardeners and tree enthusiasts to experience the full life cycle of this remarkable species. With patience and proper care, seedlings develop into strong, long-lived trees that can thrive for generations.
