The ‘Fastigiata’ Maidenhair Tree is a male ginkgo cultivar with a tight, upright crown ideal for streetscapes, parking lot buffers, median strips, and other restricted overhead spaces. Its narrow spread (12–15 feet) and strong central leader make it a perfect fit for urban planting programs and high-traffic areas where space is at a premium.

Resistant to pests, tolerant of air pollution, alkaline and compacted soils, and able to handle heat and drought once established, ‘Fastigiata’ delivers both performance and beauty. Fan-shaped foliage emerges light green in spring, deepens in summer, and shifts to vivid golden yellow in fall. The foliage drop is rapid, producing a short but brilliant autumn display.

As a male selection, it produces no messy fruit. Ginkgo’s deep evolutionary history—dating back 270 million years—translates into unmatched adaptability and long lifespan, making ‘Fastigiata’ a premium, low-maintenance choice for municipalities, developers, and growers serving commercial landscape markets.
