Troll Maidenhair Tree, a.k.a. Troll Ginkgo Tree, is a sweet and sassy specimen that will make you smile. You may know the Ginkgo as a mighty shade Tree that spreads its majestic limbs overhead and clothes them in unique, fan-shaped foliage, which turns radiant yellow in the fall. This is a mini version of that beauty -- it only reaches 3 feet tall and wide! Use Troll Ginkgo as a fun, quirky feature in a rockery, courtyard, fairy garden, miniature railroad garden, or a patio container. The cutest troll you'll ever encounter!

The Story
The Ginkgo is an ancient Chinese Tree valued as much for its beauty as for its durability. Its unique, fan-shaped leaves and its tolerance for all kinds of challenging growing condition shave made it a favorite landscape Tree around the world. In Hiroshima, Japan, several Ginkgo Trees growing near ground zero even survived the atomic bomb. They continue to flourish to this day. Troll Ginkgo is a modern selection that was discovered in Europe. It is a male variety that produces NONE of the stinky fruits that female Ginkgoes are famous (or infamous) for.
The Details
Troll Maidenhair Tree naturally assumes a rounded but slightly irregular form. The leaves are smaller than a normal Ginkgo and are packed more tightly on the branches. It's like nothing else you can buy!
