All about Blagon ginkgo

Blagon is a shapely Ginkgo which makes a good choice as a specimen tree.

It grows with columnar or fastigiate habit, with new branches emerging at a near vertical angle to the main stem. As a result several can be closely-planted to line an avenue or border.

The pale green leaves have a passing resemblance to farfalle pasta shapes. They turn a stunning bright yellow colour in autumn, eventually falling to the ground, creating a golden carpet around the tree.

Growing and Training

After the first few years Blagon is almost maintenance-free. It tolerates air pollution and hot climates, is cold hardy, and drought resistant.

Blagon may eventually reach a height of 8m and a spread of 2m after 10-20 years, but it is very slow-growing.

It can also be planted in a large container, but will do best in well-drained soil in the garden - either in full sun or partial shade.

We supply the male form of this variety, so there are no fruitlets.

History

This form of the species Ginkgo biloba was found as a seedling in the village of Authevernes in north west France.

More about ginkgo

Also known as the Maindenhair tree, Gingkos are an unusual genus of trees which and have been around unchanged since before the time of the dinosaurs. They are conifers, but unlike most conifers they are also deciduous - their leaves turn yellow and fall in the autumn.

They do best in well-drained soils, and in UK conditions are likely to reach about 7m in the longer term.
