Ginkgo biloba - Maidenhair Tree Conifer

Ginkgo biloba, also known as the Maidenhair Tree, is one of the oldest living tree species on Earth, dating back nearly 300 million years. Recognised for its distinctive fan-shaped foliage, this deciduous conifer provides stunning seasonal interest, transforming from rich green in summer to a vibrant golden yellow in autumn.

With its upright habit when young and broad, spreading canopy as it matures, Ginkgo biloba is both astriking specimen tree and a long-lived feature for parks, streetscapes, or spacious residential gardens. It’s highly tolerant of pollution, frost, and wind. Thriving in Melbourne’s diverse urban and suburban conditions.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well-drained loam or sandy soil, tolerant of most soil types.
• Light: Full sun or semi shade; more sun enhances autumn colour.
• Watering: Keep moist during dry periods while young; drought-tolerant once established.
• Fertiliser: Apply slow release fertiliser in spring to encourage lush growth.
• Maintenance: Minimal pruning required; remove lower branches if needed to shape.
• Flowering: Insignificant; grown for foliage and autumn colour.

For Bright colours, plant where there is alot of light.
