Textile magnate Moses H. Cone purchased and developed 3,600 acres of mountain property near Blowing Rock, North Carolina, located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. He was an admirer of trees and created a beautiful estate.
On this estate and next to his mansion is a majestic ginkgo. Ginkgo biloba is known as a "living fossil tree", appreciated by both the rich man and the common man. This tree's genetic line spans the Mesozoic era back to the Triassic period. Read more about this fair Maidenhair-tree and old Moses Cone.
