A simple but elegant composition a golden leaf litter carpet and tree trunks of the Maidenhair Tree, the oldest tree on earth at Nijo in Kyoto, Japan.
Maidenhair Tree Oldest tree on Earth, and the only tree without any insect or disease problems. Slow growth to 70 ft tall x 40 ft wide. Only the male is cultivated due the ‘stinky cheese’ smell of the female’s fruit. Long-lived and very hardy tree with distinctive fan-shaped, fossil looking leaves. Bright yellow fall leaf color.
