This one-of-a-kind tree stands apart from the rest. What you see in the photos are what you get, and there will never be another one like it.

I’m 'Metis' the Ginkgo, and I am a deciduous tree native to Asia. My leaves are fan-shaped and it was once believed I went extinct. I am considered one of the oldest trees on Earth! Through the summer, my leaves turn a deeper green and finally to a golden yellow in the fall before they drop.

I like morning sun and bright indirect light in the afternoon. Water me well every 5-7 days, even daily in the height of summer. In the winter, water as needed. The best way to water is to submerge my pot up to the rim for 5 minutes. I am an outdoor tree and should live outside year-round. 

In winter I like to rest up outside in a protected spot from November until spring, when my baby leaves start to appear again. During the winter months, keep me in temperatures between 25 - 50 degrees Fahrenheit and protect from harsh winds.

Symbolism: As the last surviving member of the ancient ginkgo family, the Ginkgo biloba is a symbol of endurance, longevity, and the ability to withstand. In Feng Shui it carries the Metal element– tenacious, strong, and indestructible, echoing the resilient nature of the Ginkgo.
