Ginkgo biloba 'Chi Chi' 3/2022 Ginkgo E1-

Ginkgo biloba 'Chi Chi' 3/2022 Ginkgo E1- (Icho) Dwarf Ginkgo, Size at 10 years: 4x4ft., Green Foliage, Insignificant flower, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 4-, In Garden Bed E1 for 175 DAYS (HLG). Planted in 2021.

 

Dawes: A semi-dwarf, bushy male clone with a rounded multi-stem habit. Being male means it does not produce the smelly fruit. This is a real novelty plant reaching only 15-20' high in a 30 year period. Unusual stem formations, called chi-chi in Japan, form on the trunk after many years. These can grow to resemble stalactites. Fan-shaped, deciduous leaves are smaller than the species. Great for a specimen in the garden with its small habit and great yellow fall coloring.

 

Grafted by MSU on 3/2020. (also known as 'Tschi-Tschi') is a dwarf, dense, mounded, slow-growing, multi-stemmed shrub form of the popular ginkgo tree. It typically grows to only 4-5' tall with a fan-shaped habit and over 10 years. Ginkgo biloba is a deciduous conifer (a true gymnosperm) that features distinctive, two-lobed, somewhat leathery, fan-shaped leaves
