? The plant you are buying is the exact one shown in the pictures: Plant #20, a 4–5-year-old Ginkgo biloba. It will be shipped with roots wrapped in wet media while dormant and potted with soil after April once it begins growing. Summer shipping is done in a container with soil. ? Ginkgo biloba is often called a “living fossil,” as it has no close living relatives and closely resembles fossils over 200 million years old. Once thought extinct in the wild, it was rediscovered in the 20th century after being preserved in temple gardens in China. ? I prefer to ship at the beginning of the week—Mondays or Wednesdays—to ensure the plant does not sit in transit over the weekend. Shipping includes a tracking number within the USA. International buyers, please contact me before purchasing, as I do not ship to all countries due to plant entry regulations. ? Your item will arrive in good condition; if any issues occur during transit, contact us the same day with a description and photos so we can assist you.
