Common Name:
Ginkgo 'Lemonlime Spire'
Description:
Ginkgo biloba 'Lemonlime Spire' is a unique, upright selection of the ancient Ginkgo tree, prized for its striking golden-green foliage and narrow, columnar growth habit. In spring and summer, its distinctive fan-shaped leaves emerge in a fresh lime-green shade, deepening as the season progresses before turning a spectacular golden yellow in autumn. This deciduous, slow-growing tree is ideal for narrow spaces, urban plantings, and feature landscaping. Highly tolerant of pollution, heat, drought, and poor soils, 'Lemonlime Spire' is a hardy and low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens.
