Commonly known as the maidenhair tree, 'Lemonlime Spire' is a columnar cultivar that features distinctive two-lobed foliage. Its bright lime-green summer leaves turn a glowing lemon-yellow in autumn. Steeped in cultural history, the Ginkgo is one of the oldest species of trees on the planet and is often referred to as a "living fossil," with some living samples over 2500 years old.

Cultural

Ginkgo biloba thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil, though it is highly adaptable to a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant, but regular watering during the early years encourages deep root development. Minimal pruning is required; however, if necessary, it’s best done in late winter to early spring before new growth begins. Focus on removing dead, damaged, or poorly positioned branches to maintain its natural shape. Exceptionally hardy, Ginkgo tolerates a wide range of temperatures and is highly resistant to pests, diseases, and urban pollution, making it an ideal choice for city environments.

Landscape Uses

Is a versatile plant, thriving in containers and complementing formal garden styles while also enhancing mixed plantings with its striking vertical presence. Its pollution resistance makes it well-suited for urban environments. Being a male clone of the Ginkgo, it does not produce smelly fruit, ensuring a pleasant garden experience year-round.
