Goldspire™ Ginkgo Tree

Ginkgo biloba 'Blagon' Goldspire™ is a narrow, upright male selection grown for its vertical form and autumn color. Fan-shaped leaves stay green through summer and turn yellow before dropping; this selection does not produce the fleshy seeds associated with female ginkgo trees. Published mature-size estimates vary, so allow room beyond a small planting strip and confirm expected dimensions with the nursery supplying the tree. ## Form and seasonal interest The cultivar is described as densely branched and narrowly pyramidal, with golden-yellow fall foliage. Iseli lists about 15 feet tall by 8 feet wide, while other nursery listings give substantially different mature estimates. Use the narrow habit as a design cue, not as a guarantee that the tree will remain within a very small space.

Goldspire is listed for USDA Zone 4 and warmer, though upper-zone limits vary by source. ## Maintenance Water regularly while the root system establishes, then water deeply during extended dry periods. Prune in spring to remove damaged or crossing branches and preserve a strong leader. Ginkgo is generally low-maintenance once established; plan for seasonal leaf drop.
