Ginkgo biloba ‘Spring Grove’ – Dwarf Upright Ginkgo Tree with Golden Fall Color
Add timeless beauty and compact elegance to your landscape with this live Ginkgo biloba ‘Spring Grove’, a rare dwarf ginkgo prized for its dense upright form and brilliant golden fall color. Discovered as a witches’ broom mutation in Spring Grove, Ohio, this unique male cultivar develops into a compact pyramidal tree with bright green fan-shaped leaves arranged densely along the branches for a refined ornamental appearance. In autumn, the foliage transforms into glowing golden yellow, creating one of the most spectacular fall displays among ornamental trees.
Unlike female ginkgo trees, ‘Spring Grove’ is a male selection and produces no messy or foul-smelling fruit, making it ideal for patios, urban landscapes, and smaller gardens. Slow growing and naturally compact, this dwarf ginkgo reaches approximately 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide in 15 years, making it perfect for foundation plantings, decorative containers, courtyards, and collector gardens. Exceptionally pollution tolerant and highly adaptable, this ancient “living fossil” combines prehistoric history with modern landscape beauty.
