Ginkgo biloba (Female Ginkgo)

Ginkgo biloba (Female) is a remarkable deciduous tree celebrated for its distinctive fan-shaped foliage and exceptional longevity. Its fresh green leaves create a graceful, open canopy throughout spring and summer before turning a brilliant golden yellow in autumn, delivering one of the most spectacular seasonal displays of any landscape tree. As a female selection, mature trees may produce plum-like seeds with fleshy outer coatings, adding botanical interest but often avoided in high-traffic areas due to their strong odour when they fall.

Hardy, adaptable, and exceptionally low maintenance, Female Ginkgo thrives in full sun and a wide range of well-drained soils. It is tolerant of drought, pollution, and urban conditions once established, making it suitable for parks, large gardens, and specimen plantings where its unique beauty can be appreciated. With its distinctive foliage, impressive longevity, and brilliant autumn colour, Ginkgo biloba is an iconic feature tree for both residential and commercial landscapes.
