Ginkgo biloba (Maidenhair Tree) or Gingko (sometimes spelt ginkgo) trees are an ancient species, the ginkgo tree leaf looking very much like a fern. Some Ginkgo species will grow to be large trees while other species and cultivars are smaller growing and even suitable for growing in containers.

Ginkgo biloba 'Mariken' is a Dwarf species reaching about 1m while Ginkgo biloba 'Fastigiata' has a tall columular habit. When planting a ginkgo tree look for an open position if you wish to make the most of the structure of a well formed tree. Fruit can be slightly smelly, so see if you can get male trees.
