Why Plant Robbie's Twist Maidenhair Tree?
Robbie’s Twist Maidenhair Tree is ginkgo with personality. Instead of growing into a standard canopy, it develops a twisty, contorted branching habit that looks like living sculpture, especially in winter when the structure is fully on display. In the growing season, it still delivers that classic ginkgo charm with fan-shaped leaves, and when fall arrives, the foliage turns brilliant golden yellow, creating a bright, unforgettable finish.
This is the perfect tree for someone who wants a small ornamental with big character, something that looks intentional and artistic in every season, not just when it’s leafed out.
How to use Robbie's Twist Maidenhair Tree in the landscape?
Plant it where you’ll see the branching up close, near an entry, beside a patio, or along a walkway where the sculptural form becomes a focal point year-round. It looks especially striking in a simple bed with gravel or clean mulch, where the twisting silhouette reads crisp and intentional. Pair it with low, mounded evergreens or a single groundcover so the tree remains the centerpiece, and give it enough breathing room so the contorted branching can be appreciated from multiple angles, especially in winter.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
