Ginkgo Watch (Oct. 23)

October 23, 2023

2023 GINKGO WATCH Monday, October 23rd- On the move!

The Ginkgo Grove undergoes a magical transformation each Fall as the leaves transition from green to gold. Here's what the Ginkgo Grove looks like today (Monday, October 23rd).

"Lime green" is the predominant color, but somewhere between 60-70% of the trees have at least a few yellow leaves. On many trees, there are branches with almost all yellow or lime-green/yellow leaves. This coming weekend (Oct. 27-29) has the potential to be the "peak" weekend for golden leaves, but stay tuned for another update later this week.

The best time to see golden ginkgoes at Blandy is usually late October - early November, although there is some variation in timing from year to year.

Stay tuned to our website, Facebook, and Instagram for regular updates on the state of the Grove, and check out this important information on our website as you plan your visit: https://blandy.virginia.edu/fall-2023-ginkgo-info
