Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a narrow, fastigiate, or narrowly conical crown, being one of the narrowest Ginkgo varieties. At maturity, it reaches a height of 4–9 meters with a crown width of 1 to 2 meters.

The leaves have a classic fan shape but are smaller in size compared to the wild type. The summer foliage color is bluish-gray-green, turning a golden-yellow hue in autumn. The variety is a male clone and does not produce fruit.

The plant is frost-hardy (withstands down to -30°C), resistant to diseases, pests, urban conditions, heat, and short-term drought. It does not require regular pruning to maintain its crown shape.
