Product Description
Compact, Dense Growth and Fan-Shaped Foliage
Why Ginkgo Biloba 'Mariken' Trees?
It's an ornamental masterpiece prized for its compact stature and dense leaves: The ball-shaped Ginkgo Biloba 'Mariken' flattens as it grows, naturally spreading twice as wide as it is tall without any ties, wires or pruning. And the miniature tree retains the many charms of the towering Ginkgo Biloba, including a longer life and foliage that turns gold in autumn.
It's a sturdy, carefree tree. The compact and hardy dwarf tree enjoys full sun and grows with minimal attention. Naturally resistant to diseases and pests, the Ginkgo Biloba 'Mariken' is also tolerant of air pollution, clay-heavy soil and nibbling deer.

United StatesGreat tree!
First one arrived dead due to a freak negative cold front in October! Customer service sent another one out after I sent a picture. They made it painless despite the snafu. Highly recommend fastgrowingtrees.com!
United StatesSuch a cute tree
I just planted it, but it came looking happy and healthy.
United StatesGinkgo
Our baby tree arrived in perfect condition and is thriving in our yard.
Healthy, happy and cute trees
I bought two of these and they are thriving! They came packaged very well and in great shape. One came significantly larger than the other, so they look a little lopsided on the patio. :) But they are healthy and happy. A wonderful addition to my patio. I cannot wait until they change colors in the fall.
Miniature ginkgo
It’s a little too early to review on the merits of the miniature ginkgo tree since I’ve only had it for two months. However it arrived quickly and it was puned and packaged well. I’ve done what I can to give it a good start so time will tell.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Consider its mature size while planting (don't plant too closely to structures), and find a well-drained, full sun area (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day).
Ginkgo should be planted in the fall or spring. The hole should be twice as wide and slightly deeper than the root ball. Press the soil around the roots as you fill, and water thoroughly when finished. Try to protect young transplants from excessively dry soil conditions.
2. Watering: Water regularly for the first 3 years of growth, but be sure not to waterlog. Generally, watering once or twice weekly is ideal, or checking the surrounding soil for dryness. Mulching is ideal so as to retain moisture in the summer.
3. Fertilizing: Annual applications of compost is recommended. Use a slow-release fertilizer like 10-10-10 in the spring according to label instructions to give your tree a boost.
