One very good reason to have your own very own Ginkgo tree, a local and renewable source of original hand made Christmas decorations – I’ve had to ‘scrump’ for these leaves but they do make lovely little baubles. Well, I think so.
Now I’ll do a little research to find just the tree suitable for my garden.I’ll start with the Big Plant Nursery –

Love Ginkgo and wish I had a big tree in my yard. This is a GREAT idea for a bauble and so scrumptious that it would sell for a high price in my opinion at a holiday art show. Very pretty!
