Maidenhair Tree Eiffel

An outstanding fastigiate cultivar of Ginkgo biloba that brings architectural elegance to compact gardens and urban spaces without taking up a large footprint. It produces dense, upright branching clad in unique, fan-shaped leaves that emerge a fresh light green in Spring and mature to a rich summer shade. In Autumn, the foliage delivers a spectacular display, turning a uniform, brilliant golden-yellow before dropping cleanly. Slower-growing and far narrower than the species, Eiffel is a male selection that does not produce messy or malodorous fruit. Its strong vertical accent makes it an ideal specimen for tight garden spaces, formal avenues, or modern landscapes.
