The Maidenhair tree is widely regarded as one of the most distinct and beautiful deciduous trees. It has a pyramidal growth habit when young, gradually becoming more irregular with age. The Maidenhair tree features unique, fan-shaped green leaves that turn a stunning yellow in the fall. While male trees are non-toxic, female trees contain ginkgotoxin, which can be harmful to pets. This tree is drought-tolerant and generally resistant to diseases. A hardy shade tree, it thrives in a variety of urban conditions and adds visual interest to any landscape.
