Ginkgo biloba 'Tubiformis'

Ginkgo biloba 'Tubiformis' is one of the most visually arresting ginkgo cultivars available — named for its extraordinary tubular or trumpet-shaped leaves that curl inward along their edges, creating a deeply three-dimensional, sculptural foliage unlike anything else in the plant world. A living fossil dating back over 200 million years, Ginkgo biloba is already one of nature's great wonders. 'Tubiformis' takes that wonder a step further, offering a collector's specimen that stops people in their tracks.

Growth Form & Habit

'Tubiformis' develops into an upright, deciduous tree with a refined and architectural presence:

  • Upright, open branching structure that becomes increasingly sculptural with age
  • Moderate growth rate — manageable for garden planting, containers, and bonsai development
  • Naturally elegant silhouette in all seasons — including bare winter branching after leaf drop
  • Grafted in Canada, ensuring cultivar authenticity and vigorous establishment

Foliage & Seasonal Interest

'Tubiformis' offers a foliage display unlike any other ginkgo:

  • Distinctive tubular or trumpet-shaped leaves with inward-curling edges — the defining characteristic of this cultivar
  • Bright green spring emergence transitions to rich, deep green through summer
  • Spectacular pure golden-yellow fall colour — one of the most reliable and vivid autumn displays of any tree
  • Deciduous — bare branches in winter reveal graceful, angular structure

Ideal for Bonsai & Garden Use

Ginkgo biloba is a highly prized bonsai subject, and 'Tubiformis' elevates that tradition with its extraordinary leaf form. Its unusual tubular foliage creates immediate visual interest at any scale, making it a standout piece in a bonsai collection or display. In the garden, it serves as an exceptional specimen tree — a true conversation piece that rewards close inspection through every season.

Why Choose 'Tubiformis'?
