Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as the Ginkgo or Maidenhair Tree, is a unique and ancient deciduous tree celebrated for its resilience and distinctive fan-shaped leaves. Growing to 20–35 meters tall with an 8–12 meter wide canopy, it offers a striking, broadly spreading crown that adds character and shade to parks, gardens, and urban landscapes.

Its bright green foliage turns vibrant gold in autumn, creating seasonal interest, while inconspicuous spring flowers maintain its understated elegance. Adaptable to various soils and urban conditions, Ginkgo biloba is moderately drought-tolerant once established, requires low maintenance, and is also valued for its medicinal properties. This timeless tree is perfect for those seeking both beauty and durability in their landscape.
