Sky Tower™ Ginkgo

You've worked hard to make your place in the world, and it's time to celebrate. Trees are one of the most cost-effective ways to add sophistication and valuable shade to your property.

Delightful Sky Tower™ Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba 'JN9') helps you in your quest to build a beautiful environment. It grows into a tall, slim "living fossil" tree that can live for a thousand years. Today, modern growers have worked very hard to bring improved cultivars to market.

Sky Tower is a compact male cultivar that has a narrow footprint, but grows into a dense, upright column. These rugged trees can be grown even in the middle of the urban jungle, tolerating pollution without any trouble.

The instantly recognizable, fan-shaped, green leaves flutter and sway in the slightest breeze. They catch wind, due to their aerodynamic shape and the long petioles that attach it to the branches.

In autumn, the foliage brightens to an illuminated yellow, lit from within. All eyes will be drawn to the golden glow that is electrifying in its intensity.

People across the world host Cherry Blossom tree parties in spring.

Well...you'll be tempted to host a Ginkgo fall color get-together. The foliage color is an astonishing backdrop for your football watch parties.

It is a slow-growing tree that is easy to care for and extremely long-lived. Achieve the high-end, classic look you crave by growing Ginkgo trees on your property.

Do you see what a treat this tree is? It's frankly a bit more special than the more common trees you can find at any big box store.

Use a single tree as a lawn specimen plant in a large mulched bed. These trees stay small enough to use in courtyards.

Or bring in additional soil and sculpt a large, curving berm. Plant three trees in a loose triangle for a very effective informal grouping.

Dress up these trees with symmetrical measurements in front of formal facades. Or, use more relaxed spacing to suit the looks of modern architecture.

Create an impressive, tall solid hedge by planting them four feet apart on center. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next, and they'll grow together and touch.

If you have the space, use a long hedge of Sky Tower Ginkgo to create walls of an outdoor dining room. Or, use a series of three trees flanking either side of the entrance to your entertainment area.

Imagine the conversations held at a long, rustic wood table and ergonomic outdoor dining chairs!

You might solve all the world's problems in such a setting. These easy-care trees were born to inspire, after all.

Or, perhaps your guests will simply be inspired to outdo each other in a salty contest of off-color limerick jokes. Either way, you'll enjoy the outstanding Sky Tower Ginkgo in your space.
