Backyard Ginkgo Tree Gold Leaves In Fall - November 2026
Two weeks ago, I p osted an update on the (still small) Ginkgo tree that is growing in our backyard along the southside of the garden . This is a tree that was 'snapped' in half, but has (seemingly) recovered. In that post, I included a couple of photos showing the shape and growth of the tree. With all the foliage camouflaging the tree, it was hard to see the actual size, so I ended up annotating a photo with markup . Well...just like the Saratoga Ginkgo tree out front, this Ginkgo tree is changing color. Into a canopy of gold foliage. Which...now allow for the size and shape of the tree to be EASILY read by the eye. Here, below, is that same tree, now lit up in yellow leaves: Still not a massive tree, but it continues to grow each season. Five years in the ground . Five more until it is meaningful, I would think.
