Autumn Gold Ginkgo
Ginkgo biloba 'Autumn Gold'
The Autumn Gold Ginkgo is an amazing plant species. It features a unique yellow-gold foliage throughout the summer that turns to a yellowish-orange in the fall. It also produces edible nuts. This species is not frost-hardy and requires a well drained soil and a sheltered position. It’s drought-tolerant, making it ideal for low maintenance gardens. Its two-lobed leaves are ornate and fan-shaped, giving it a unique texture and appeal that adds to any garden. Its low growing habit makes it a great choice for small gardens and grows best in full sun or partial shade. The Autumn Gold Ginkgo is an eye-catching beauty that will bring a delightful accent to your garden.
