It is a beautiful leaf shape, for sure. I have grown them from seed before now, but foolishly gave them all away! A very ancient tree which I love.

I am loving the leaf shape and colour. I’ve seen Ginkgo biloba capsules in the herbalist shop but never tried them.

Sheila - Acupuncturist said make tea with one leaf, don't overdo it, more is not better! (She has a small tree in the garden and dries her own!)
