GINKGO biloba 'Jade Butterflies' (Stanley and Sons Nursery) 2020 photo - Common Name: Dwarf Ginkgo, Size at 10 years: 4x4ft., Green Foliage, Insignificant flower, USDA Hardiness Zone x, In Garden Bed HR-VC4 for 7.9 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2012.

 

Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Jade Butterflies’ is a slow-growing, dwarf, male tree that grows in an upright, vase-shaped form to only 4-6’ tall over the first 10 years. However, some authorities estimate this tree may reach as much as 10-12’ tall over the first 10 years. Mature height is currently unknown. Deeply bi-lobed leaves purportedly resemble butterflies with jade green wings, hence the cultivar name. Foliage turns a uniform and very showy golden yellow in autumn. Insignificant greenish male flowers bloom in catkins in spring.

 

Location: Michigan State University, Hidden Lake Gardens, Tipton, MI. 42°01'47.7"N 84°06'37.3"W
