Dwarf Ginkgo 'Mariken'
FamilyGinkgoaceae
Ginkgo biloba 'Mariken', also known as dwarf ginkgo 'Mariken', is a compact, standard-grafted form of the famous maidenhair tree, cultivated for its dense, rounded habit and unique, abundant, light green, fan-shaped foliage. In autumn, its leaves turn a brilliant golden yellow, creating a luminous accent in small spaces. Very hardy, resistant to pollution and diseases, 'Mariken' is ideal for terraces, entrances, rock gardens, structured gardens or containers. Its growth is slow, but its very regular natural shape makes it a remarkable architectural element that requires little pruning. Perfect for modern and minimalist gardens, this miniature ginkgo combines great elegance with adaptation to the Quebec climate.
