About this cultivar

Ginkgo biloba 'Globosa' forms a dense, rounded crown 2 to 3 metres in diameter on the stem on which it was grafted, with slow growth and compact branching. The overall height depends on the stem and is normally between 3 and 4 metres.

The fan-shaped leaves, light green in summer, turn a clean golden yellow in autumn and nearly all fall in the same week, in a yellow carpet at the foot of the tree.

Like the species, it is indifferent to soil type as long as it drains, tolerates pollution, heat, cold and drought once established, and has no significant pests or diseases. It wants full sun and needs no pruning.
