Gradient Boosting is an ensemble method that is usually applied to decision trees. It is so often that we usually say Gradient Boosting to refer to Gradient Boosted Decision Trees. In scikit learn for example, the estimators GradientBoostingRegressor or GradientBoostingClassifier use Decision Trees. However, as an ensemble method, it is possible to apply it to other base models such as linear regression. But there is a trivial conclusion that you may already know:
