Botanical nameGinkgo biloba Troll

Ginkgo biloba ‘Troll’, also known as dwarf ginkgo 'Troll', is a compact and rounded selection, cultivated for its very slow growth and naturally dense habit. Its fan-shaped foliage, typical of ginkgo, emerges soft green in spring, becomes bright green in summer, then brilliant golden yellow in autumn, bringing color and texture to small spaces. Grafted on a standard or grown as a low shrub, ‘Troll’ is perfect for terraces, rock gardens, patios, or container growing, where its regular rounded shape provides a sober and original architectural accent. Very hardy and easy to care for, it tolerates urban conditions, poor soils, and drought, making it an excellent choice for minimalist or contemporary landscapes in Quebec.
