Description
Always wanted a Ginkgo tree but didn’t have the space? Unlike its much larger growing cousins that can grow up to 100 feet tall over time, the Sky Tower Ginko is a very compact and upright variety that grows only 15 to 20 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, which makes it an excellent selection for smaller and narrower landscape spaces. It features distinctive two-lobed, fan-shaped rich green leaves that turn the most spectacular bright yellow of any fall color tree. Ginkgo are commonly called maidenhair trees due to their fan-shaped leaves that resemble the shape of maidenhair fern leaflets. A long-lived and carefree beauty, Sky Tower Ginko is sure to put an exclamation point on your landscape!
Note: All of our Ginkgo trees are males, which means they won’t have the stinky flowers the females do.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing only 15 to 20 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide over time, the Sky Tower Gonkgo tree is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or spaced in rows to delineate a property line, drive or street. It is also ideal for use to accentuate entryways or frame tall homes and structures. A fine addition to yellow theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 6 feet apart for solid screen; 12 feet apart for space between trees
Growing Preferences
One of if not the easiest trees to grow, the Ginkgo adapts well to adverse growing conditions in urban areas. It is remarkably free of diseases, is insect resistant, and exceptionally drought tolerant when established. It adapts well to most soil types, even clay, and won’t be bothered by moist or dry soil conditions. Soil pH is of no concern as Ginkgo trees perform well in both acid and alkaline conditions. Avoid pruning other than to remove damaged branches or lower branches to expose more trunk.
Plant Long & Prosper!
