Ginkgo biloba 'Blagon Fanfare'
'Blagon Fanfare' is a distinctive and eye-catching cultivar of the ancient Ginkgo tree, known for its elegant, natural pyramidal growth habit. Its broad, fan-shaped leaves, arranged in clusters, lend a lush, architectural beauty to the tree. Throughout the growing season, the foliage displays a soft, vibrant green that transforms into a stunning, golden-yellow spectacle in autumn.
Cultural
Ginkgo biloba thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil, though it is highly adaptable to a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant, but regular watering during the early years encourages deep root development. Minimal pruning is required; however, if necessary, it’s best done in late winter to early spring before new growth begins. Focus on removing dead, damaged, or poorly positioned branches to maintain its natural shape. Exceptionally hardy, Ginkgo tolerates a wide range of temperatures and is highly resistant to pests, diseases, and urban pollution, making it an ideal choice for city environments.
Landscape Uses
'Blagon Fanfare' is a versatile tree, perfect as a striking focal point in gardens or landscapes due to its compact size and elegant pyramidal form. Its vibrant, distinctively shaped foliage makes it a standout feature in small gardens, urban spaces, and along pathways or driveways. Additionally, it thrives in large containers, and its resilience to urban pollution makes it a practical choice for city environments.
