Ginkgo biloba 'Jehoshaphat' (Witch broom found at Spring Grove Arboretum, Cincinnati, OH) 2020 photo - Common Name: Dwarf Ginkgo aka Ginkgo biloba 'Spring Grove', Size at 10 years: 2x3ft., Green Foliage, Insignificant flower, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, In Garden Bed S3 for 5.8 YEARS (MSU J). Planted in 2014.

 

Dawes Arboretum: A selection of a witches'-broom found at the Spring Grove Arboretum in Cincinnati, OH. Growth is very slow and it is an extremely dwarf form, forming a short, broom-like specimen with a somewhat globose to bun shape with little lateral branching, consisting instead of shortened, spur-like appendages. The name refers to a character in Par Lagerkvist's book The Dwarf. A Dawes Arboretum Introduction.

 

From Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum, Cincinnati, Ohio. Beautiful yellow fall color. Best with full sun exposure but adaptable to a variety of growing conditions including high pH, moisture and wind exposure. Grafted 5/10/2009 by Jon Genereaux, MSU Hidden Lake Gardens. Looks quite good in 2019.
