A slow-growing, deciduous tree known for its distinct fan-shaped leaves that turn a brilliant golden yellow in fall. This cultivar maintains a more compact and upright growth habit compared to other ginkgo varieties, making it an excellent choice for urban landscapes and smaller spaces. It is highly adaptable to a variety of soil conditions and is resistant to pollution, making it ideal for city planting. Drought tolerant once established, but will need watering in very dry periods.
