  • Description

  • Notes

This ginkgo grows slightly smaller than the species, about 40 to 50 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide. 'Autumn Gold' is an all-male cultivar with a symmetrical, broadly spreading habit. Leaves turn a uniform golden yellow in autumn (spectacular when backlit by early morning or late afternoon sun) and persist for several weeks. When the leaves do drop, they drop rapidly, forming a golden carpet around the tree. Deciduous. 'Autumn Gold' is a male selection and produces no fruit.
