Ginkgo biloba 'Spring Grove' Dwarf Ginkgo Tree

Ginkgo biloba ‘Spring Grove’ is an outstanding dwarf ginkgo prized for its compact pyramidal form and vibrant foliage. Selected as a witches' broom from a male ginkgo growing at Spring Grove Cemetery in Ohio, this slow-growing cultivar develops a dense, upright habit that fits beautifully into smaller landscapes. In spring, its distinctive fan-shaped leaves emerge a brilliant chartreuse and gently cup upward, adding unique texture and color to the garden. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into a dazzling display of brilliant golden yellow before dropping almost simultaneously, creating a spectacular seasonal show. As a male selection, ‘Spring Grove’ produces no messy fruit, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for any landscape.
