Ginkgo Biloba vs Japanese Black PineGinkgo biloba Pinus thunbergii NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON The Ginkgo Biloba is regarded as one of the most distinctive and beautiful of all the deciduous trees, and has remained genetically unchanged for millions of years. Its beautifully fan-shaped leaves develop a clear yellow colour in fall. Graceful and attractive year-round, Ginkgo is the perfect conversation starter in your yard.
Japanese Black Pine is known for its unique and irregular growth habit, making it a striking landscape addition. It typically does not grow with a central leader. This causes it to form a flat-top, classic bonsai-like shape when mature. When it has a central leader, it will grow with a twisted trunk. Another striking feature is the white apical buds which contrast with the surrounding green needles. GINKGO BILOBA QUICK FACTSJAPANESE BLACK PINE QUICK FACTS
