'Jade Butterfly' is a dwarf, vase-shaped ginkgo with clumps of dark green leaves that look similar to a butterfly's wings. The outline of 'Jade Butterfly' is shrubby, and after a ten-year period this selection is likely to be approximately four to five feet tall with a comparable width. It is considered slow growing and its mature height is less than half of that of the standard.
