Why plant Mariken Maidenhair Tree?
Mariken Maidenhair Tree is a ginkgo made for real-life spaces. Instead of growing into a towering shade tree, it stays compact and rounded, giving you the iconic ginkgo leaf shape in a size that works in courtyards, smaller front yards, and tight foundation beds. The fan-shaped foliage has a clean, graphic look through summer, then turns brilliant golden yellow in fall, delivering one of the most memorable seasonal displays you can plant.
It’s a perfect pick when you want a small ornamental tree with big character, reliable structure, and fall color that stops people mid-walk.
How to use Mariken Maidenhair Tree in the landscape?
Plant it as a focal point near an entry path, patio seating area, or front window where the unique fan-shaped foliage can be enjoyed up close. It’s especially effective in smaller beds where you need a rounded, architectural shape to anchor the design without overwhelming the space. Pair it with low, mounded evergreens and simple groundcovers so the form stays clean, and give it breathing room so the canopy keeps its naturally tidy silhouette. In fall, place it where you’ll see the golden color from the street or from inside the home, it’s worth the spotlight.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Mariken is a dwarf ginkgo selected for a compact, mounded habit, making it a great fit for small gardens, courtyard beds, and foundation plantings.
