GINKGO BILOBA GOLD SPIRE™ / GOLD SPIRE™ MAIDENHAIR TREE

A Tall, Upright Form with Brilliant Golden Fall Foliage

Ginkgo biloba 'Gold Spire™', commonly known as Gold Spire™ Maidenhair Tree, is a striking, narrow, and upright cultivar of the classic Ginkgo. This tree retains the fan-shaped leaves and vibrant yellow fall color of its larger relatives but in a columnar form, making it ideal for urban landscapes or narrow spaces. The 'Gold Spire™' provides an excellent option for those looking to enjoy the beauty of Ginkgo in a more vertical growth habit, perfect for adding elegance to small gardens or tight areas.

Why Choose Gold Spire™ Maidenhair Tree?

  • Upright, Columnar Shape: With its tall, narrow form, 'Gold Spire™' is perfect for smaller spaces, narrow streets, or urban gardens where width is limited.
  • Golden Fall Foliage: The stunning, fan-shaped leaves turn a bright, golden yellow in the fall, offering a spectacular seasonal display.
  • Low Maintenance: This tree is very low-maintenance, being pest-resistant and tolerant of various soil types and environmental conditions.
  • Ideal for Tight Spaces: Its compact growth makes it a great choice for planting along walkways, in narrow garden beds, or as a specimen tree in small areas.

Key Features:

  • Narrow, Columnar Form: 'Gold Spire™' has a slim, upright shape that can grow in spaces where traditional Ginkgo trees would be too wide or sprawling.
  • Golden Yellow Fall Color: Like other Ginkgo varieties, this cultivar turns a brilliant yellow in the fall, creating a stunning contrast against the autumn landscape.
  • Pest and Disease Resistant: Known for its resilience, the Gold Spire™ is tolerant of pests, diseases, and environmental stress.
  • Urban Tolerant: Adaptable to urban environments, this tree tolerates pollution and can thrive in city settings.

Specifications:

  • Plant Size: 25–30 feet tall, 6–8 feet wide.
  • Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–9.
  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun, but can tolerate some partial shade.
  • Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil but can adapt to a wide range of soil types, including urban soils.

Ideal Uses:

  • Urban Gardens and Streets: The narrow, upright shape makes it perfect for tight spaces, sidewalks, and urban environments where traditional Ginkgo trees may be too wide.
  • Specimen Tree: Its unique form and vibrant fall color make it a striking focal point in garden designs.
  • Accent Tree for Narrow Spaces: Great for planting along fences, driveways, or in any space where width is a concern.
  • Low-Maintenance Landscapes: Requires little upkeep once established, making it an excellent choice for busy gardeners or urban landscapes.

Ginkgo biloba 'Gold Spire™' offers the beauty of the traditional Ginkgo tree with the added benefit of a columnar form, making it a perfect choice for smaller spaces or urban areas. With its golden fall color and resilience, it's a beautiful and low-maintenance addition to any landscape.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
