Maidenhair Tree 'Mariken', Fossil Tree 'Mariken', Icho 'Mariken'
Ginkgo biloba ‘Mariken’ (Maidenhair Tree) is a dwarf, deciduous conifer of semi-pendulous habit, adorned with thick, spreading branches, densely packed with fan-shaped, green leaves. The foliage turns brilliant golden yellow in the fall. Slow-growing, 2 in. per year (5 cm), this small Maidenhair Tree is attractive in all seasons – Even in winter, when its stark silhouette bristles with spiky buds, given the tree an exotic charm. This male cultivar does not produce the distinctive fruit and is perfect as an accent for locations requiring a smaller tree, for containers or grown as a bonsai. One of the most pollution-tolerant trees.
