    Description
    Gingko Saratoga is a gorgeous, refined selection of the ancient ginkgo tree, prized for its elegant form, fan-shaped foliage, and standout fall color. With a more compact, rounded habit than standard ginkgo varieties, Saratoga fits beautifully into modern landscapes while still delivering grand visual impact. The lovely, slightly ruffled green leaves emerge in spring and hold their color until autumn, when they turn a stunning, buttery yellow before dropping almost all at once in a dramatic seasonal display.

    This non-fruiting male cultivar keeps the landscape fresh and tidy, free from the mess associated with fruiting types. Ideal for city streets, large yards, or as a specimen shade tree, it brings satisfying structure and movement year-round.

    General Care

    • Sunlight: Prefers full sun
    • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish deep roots and support healthy canopy growth; once established, minimal supplemental watering is needed except during extended dry periods
    • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature
    • Pruning: Prune in late winter to shape if needed or remove any damaged limbs

    With its magnificent golden fall color, clean habit, and bold foliage, Gingko Saratoga is a refreshing, long-lived tree that makes a polished statement in any landscape.

  • Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base helps conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature. Keep mulch slightly away from the crown to promote healthy airflow.
  • Pruning: Remove dead or wilted fronds in early spring to refresh the clump and encourage a tidy, polished appearance.

Avalanche Grass brings a lovely and refreshing accent to Michigan landscapes, delivering a refined, textural display that is both inspiring and perfectly suited to smaller spaces.
