Maidenhair Tree 'Fairmont', Fossil Tree 'Fairmont', Icho 'Fairmont'
Ginkgo biloba ‘Fairmont’ (Maidenhair Tree) is a deciduous conifer with a dense, narrowly pyramidal crown adorned with nearly horizontal branches when young, becoming upright with age. Adding visual interest and beauty to the landscape, its canopy of unique, fan-shaped, green leaves, turns brilliant gold in the fall. This contributes to its exotic charm, as does its stark winter silhouette bristling with spiky buds. Graceful and attractive in all seasons, Ginkgo biloba is a popular shade tree which establishes easily and tolerates many urban conditions including heat, air pollution or salt. This male cultivar of Ginkgo is practically pest free, resistant to storm damage, and casts dense shade.
