The leaves turn a stunning, bright yellow colour in the fall, covering the streets like a golden carpet.

Maidenhair Trees are a large, long-lived tree species, able to grow over 50 ft tall. Ginkgo Trees can live up to 3000 years. They make excellent shade trees. They are easy to grow and low maintenance. Commonly used in urban and residential areas because they are tolerant to heat, air pollution and salt toxicity.

Ginkgo biloba is a dioecious species. A male and a female plant are necessary for fruit production. The seedlings sold are obtained from seeds. Seedling(s) can either be male(s) or female(s).
