Baby Biloba

Our Ginkgo Biloba tree has finally begun sprouting its beautiful fan-shaped leaves! When we first started to plan our landscaping, the ginkgo biloba tree was my main must-have. I remember my first time on campus as a freshman at BYU and my smart friend, Katy, pointed out a tree with fan-shaped leaves. For the rest of my time at BYU, I'd walk by that tree and think of her and the unique tree that she once loved. Come to find out, the ginkgo biloba is one of the only things that survived the atom bomb in Japan, so I figure there's no way we could kill it. With that said, I was still relieved to see its leaves coming out. One day it will be a large shade tree and I'll love it even more! I feel like it's our little bit of Asia in the front yard.




Here's what its leaves will look like (since I'm not much of a photographer):
