Notes
'Sky Tower' maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba 'Sky Tower') is a tree for borders, containers, specimen planting, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet soil of most types. It has a narrow habit and turns gold in autumn. Deer rarely make it their first choice. This male clone does not produce fruit, so it suits small gardens, driveways, and courtyards.
Pairs well with Japanese maple, Smoketree, and Burning bush.
