Ginkgo Autumn Gold is a cultivar of the Ginkgo biloba tree, known for its striking golden-yellow autumn foliage. This deciduous tree typically grows to a height of 40 to 50 feet (1 2 to 15 meters) and a width of 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) at maturity. The leaves of the Ginkgo Autumn Gold are fan-shaped and deeply divided, with a bright green color during the growing season that turns a vibrant golden-yellow in the fall. The tree produces small, inconspicuous yellow-green flowers in the spring, followed by the development of its distinctive fruit, which looks like a small apricot and has a strong odor when it falls to the ground. Ginkgo Autumn Gold trees are very hardy and tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, including urban environments and pollution. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Due to its striking fall color, this tree is often used as a specimen tree in landscapes and public spaces. It is also valued for its medicinal properties, with extracts from its leaves used in traditional medicine to improve cognitive function and circulation. Show more
