Goodbye, ginkgo leaves! 👋 As the Garden transitions to winter, this ginkgo biloba near the south side of Cherry Esplanade is one of the last trees currently showing off bright seasonal colors. Easily recognizable by their striking, fan-shaped leaves, the ginkgo, also known as the maidenhair tree, is both a “living fossil” and a common New York City street tree. In late fall, most of its leaves will drop in unison, making for a stunning display. Plan your early winter visit to BBG at our link in
