Autumn Gold Ginkgo
Price: 44.95
The Autumn Gold Ginkgo, 'Ginkgo biloba "Autumn Gold",
is a male cultivar (which are "fruitless"). 'Autumn
Gold' is an all-male cultivar typically growing at
maturity to 40-50' with a symmetrical, broadly spreading
habit.
The Gingko tree, Ginkgo biloba, is
the sole surviving species of a group of Gymnosperms
that flourished 65 million years ago, the time when
dinosaurs existed. Gingko trees are also called
Maidenhair trees. This tree can have a lifespan as long
as 1,000 years.
Ginkgo are not native to North
America, rather they are indigenous to China, Japan, and
Korea, where they may still exist in remote mountainous
parts. Today the tree is often planted in cities because
of its remarkable resistance to urban smog and to insect
pests.
The Autumn gold is grown in
average, medium wet soil in full sun. They prefer moist,
sandy, well-drained soils. It is tolerant of a wide
range of soil conditions, including both alkaline and
acidic soils and compacted soils.
Also tolerant of saline
conditions, air pollution and heat. Adapts well to most
urban environments. No smelly fruits with this Gingko
cultivar.
