    I love Ginkos. I think it is the shape of the leaves.

    Incredible cultivar, I like the potted specimen. Ginko bonsai!

    Hazel, I love the foliage of ginkgos too! There are so many cultivars and forms out there with interesting leaf shapes (and variegation) :)

    Hazel, Nat, this a lovely, small growing cultivar that looks great in a pot. Because of it's small size and habit it's got that 'bonsai' look/feel to it. A big Ginkgo biloba changing colour in the autumn is a spectacular sight! :)

    How big could this one get? Is it bred to be small?

    Hi Martin, it's the smallest cultivar of Ginkgo that I know of. The ones I've seen planted out for several years have only achieved around a maximum height of 2', and has a tendency to spread out sideways rather than upwards. Easy enough to keep in shape, and highly recommended as a potted plant :)
