Why plant Troll Maidenhair Tree?
Troll Maidenhair Tree, a.k.a. Troll Ginkgo Tree, is a sweet and sassy specimen that will make you smile.

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.
