5 Seeds Ginkgo biloba Ginkgo Tree Fan-Shaped Golden Fall Color Hardy Shade Tree

Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as the ginkgo or maidenhair tree, is an ancient deciduous species prized for its unique fan-shaped green leaves and brilliant golden autumn display. As a living relic among trees, it brings distinctive texture and a strong architectural presence to temperate landscapes.

Ginkgo works well as a specimen, shade, or street tree in spacious yards and parks, and its leaves are sometimes collected for ornamental craft use. It grows slowly at first, then steadily, developing a broad, upright habit over time. Fall color is reliable and vivid yellow.
