Ginkgo biloba 'Menhir' (Lemonlime Spire® Ginkgo)

Ginkgo biloba 'Menhir', marketed as Lemonlime Spire® Ginkgo, is a striking deciduous ornamental tree prized for its narrow, upright growth habit and vibrant lime-green foliage. The distinctive fan-shaped leaves emerge in brilliant lemon-lime tones during spring, creating a fresh, eye-catching display before maturing to bright green throughout summer. In autumn, the foliage transforms into a spectacular golden yellow, providing outstanding seasonal colour. Its slender, columnar form makes it ideal for avenues, urban landscapes, and gardens where space is limited.

Hardy, long-lived, and exceptionally low maintenance, Lemonlime Spire® Ginkgo thrives in full sun and adapts well to a wide range of well-drained soils. It is highly tolerant of drought, pollution, and urban conditions once established. With its compact habit, vibrant foliage, and brilliant autumn display, this male cultivar is an excellent choice for feature planting, streetscapes, and contemporary landscape designs.
