Notes
'Troll' maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba 'Troll') is a shrub for borders, containers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet soil of most types. It stays small at 24 to 36 inches tall and wide, with a horizontal habit. It sits low on the menu for deer. It also tolerates drought and salt, so it suits low maintenance spots.
Pairs well with Winterberry, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Thalia daffodil.
