Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ginkgo, but Were Afraid to Ask
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ginkgo, but Were Afraid to Ask
with Peter Del Tredici, Emeritus Research Scientist, Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University
Sunday, June 4, 10am –12 pm
Join Dr. Peter Del Tredici of the Arnold Arboretum for an in-depth look at one of the most ancient and fascinating trees on the planet. Peter has been studying the natural history and evolution of this tree for the last twenty-five years and is a world authority on the subject. His travels have taken him to remote areas in southwest China in search of wild-growing Ginkgos as well as to many botanical gardens in Europe and the United States. Peter has studied the cultivation of the Ginkgo for ornamental purposes as well as for the production of leaves to make an extract that some people take to improve their memories.
Tea and scones to follow the talk.
