Ginkgo Biloba Fastigiata
Maidenhair Tree
Ginkgo biloba ‘Fastigiata’ is a striking upright form of the ancient Maidenhair Tree, admired for its narrow columnar growth habit and beautiful fan-shaped foliage. This elegant deciduous tree offers all the charm and resilience of traditional Ginkgo biloba while remaining much narrower, making it ideal for smaller gardens, avenues and modern landscape planting.
Fresh green leaves emerge in spring and create a soft airy canopy through summer before transforming into brilliant golden-yellow tones in autumn. The intense autumn colour creates a spectacular seasonal display and makes this tree a standout feature in any landscape.
Known as a “living fossil,” Ginkgo trees have remained largely unchanged for millions of years and are highly valued for their longevity, resilience and unique foliage. ‘Fastigiata’ is especially useful where vertical structure is desired without excessive width, making it perfect for formal gardens, driveways and urban planting.
Hardy, low maintenance and exceptionally tolerant of pollution, wind and cold conditions, Ginkgo biloba ‘Fastigiata’ is a long-lived specimen tree that brings elegance and seasonal beauty for generations.
