Ginkgo biloba Autumn Gold

Ginkgo biloba ‘Autumn Gold’ is one of the most popular male ginkgo selections, chosen for its uniform habit, strong branching, and spectacular fall color. Introduced in the mid-20th century, it reliably turns brilliant golden yellow in autumn, often shedding its leaves all at once for dramatic effect. This cultivar thrives in full sun and adapts well to a wide range of soils, provided drainage is good, with a moderate growth rate once established. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it typically reaches 40–50 feet tall and is widely used as a specimen tree and street planting.
