Unique fan-shaped leaves that dance in the wind and magnificent fall foliage make Ginkgo biloba 'Autumn Gold' a popular choice for California landscapes. Plus, as a fruitless male cultivar, it lacks the unpleasant smell associated with other ginkgos. Adaptable and resilient, ‘Autumn Gold’ is a beautiful specimen tree admired for its luminous golden fall color.
Autumn Gold ginkgo, also known as the maidenhair tree, is a slow-growing, deciduous tree with symmetrical branching and an upright habit. It begins with a narrow form that gradually broadens with age into a stately shade tree. In spring, its fan-shaped, leathery leaves emerge a vibrant green, transitioning to a dazzling gold in autumn. The golden leaves remain for several weeks, creating a striking seasonal display before dropping—seemingly all at once. Ginkgo biloba 'Autumn Gold' slowly grows approximately 1 to 2 ft. per year under optimal conditions.
How big does it grow and what is its growth habit?
Mature size is roughly 40-50 feet tall and 25-35 feet wide in many landscapes. It starts somewhat narrow and pyramidal, and broadens with age.
What light, soil, and site conditions does it prefer?
Prefers full sun (minimum six hours) for best fall colour and thrives in a wide range of soils (clay, loam, sand, acidic or alkaline) provided they’re well-drained.
What about care: watering, fertilising, pruning?
During its first years keep soil consistently moist; once established it becomes quite drought tolerant. Minimal fertilising is needed; prune only to remove dead or damaged wood. Avoid planting where the soil remains soggy.
What pests, diseases or maintenance issues should I be aware of?
This tree is highly resistant to most pests and diseases. Because the cultivar is male it avoids the foul-smelling fruit of female ginkgoes, making it a low-mess, low-maintenance option.
