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. 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 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.
How to use Troll Maidenhair Tree in the landscape?
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!

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!
