10 Ginkgo biloba or Maidenhair Tree Bonsai Seeds

Genus of one species of deciduous, dioecious (coniferous) tree from South China, extinct in the wild but preserved as an ornamental tree particularly in Temple gardens in China and Japan. The ginkgo is very distinct in that though it is a conifer, it has leaves rather than the needles or scales commonly associated with dioecious trees. Its leaves are flat and fan-shaped up to 10cm across, mid-to yellow / green turning briefly to a butter yellow colour before leaf-fall. Mature specimens can reach heights of 30metres and have been known to reach ages of 1000 years or more. Ginkgos produce unpleasant-smelling fleshy fruit, that contain edible nuts.
