Ginkgo biloba 'Horizontalis' Ginkgo biloba 'Horizontalis'

This cultivar has horizontally spreading branches if it is grafted at ground height. If grafted on a stem, the branches hang down somewhat. This creates a fairly flat parasol shape. As a result, it does not take on a truly weeping character. 'Horizontalis' is often confused with the cultivar 'Pendula' which has more hanging branches. The tree grows slowly, rendering it suitable for small gardens, as well. The fan-shaped leaves grow in bundles of 3 - 5 together and have an incised top. 'Horizontalis' is generally not as brilliantly coloured in the autumn. It requires a site with ample light and tolerates heat well. Winter hardiness zone: 5a
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
