The Columnar Ginkgo Tree is a slender, upright tree that can reach 50 feet tall, but remain not much more than 10 feet wide, with a narrow, flame-shaped crown. Attractive all year round, it has unique fan-shaped green leaves that turn glowing butter-yellow in fall, and a unique winter profile that is always striking. Its narrow form makes it ideal for specimens in smaller gardens, or as a row along a driveway or boundary. It fits into corners and can be planted close to buildings. It also grows well in planters and even as a bonsai tree.
Full sun or partial shade are ideal for the Columnar Ginkgo Tree to thrive. It grows in any type of soil, including poor soils and urban landscapes, if they are well-drained. It has no pests or diseases and succeeds where other trees fail. It needs no trimming to stay narrow, but when young one central shoot should be retained, to keep a single trunk on your tree.
