Ginkgo biloba 'Goldspire' is a compact, columnar variety of the ancient Ginkgo tree, prized for its striking golden-yellow foliage in autumn. This slow-growing cultivar is known for its upright, narrow habit making it ideal for small landscape spaces or as a vertical accent. With its extensive tolerance for urban conditions, including pollution, heat, and drought, 'Goldspire' requires minimal care and has pest- and disease-resistant characteristics.
