Ginkgo 'Little Weeper'

Ginkgo 'Little Weeper', commonly known as the Maidenhair Tree, is grown for its colourful foliage and weeping growth habit. This deciduous tree has distinctive, fan-shaped, rich green leaves that are held on branches that are carried with a gentle arch. The leaves turn bright yellow in autumn before falling, forming a golden carpet around the tree. It typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide. Ginkgo 'Little Weeper' is commonly grown as a specimen, included in mixed plantings, maintained in courtyard gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used to soften a bland wall.

How to grow Ginkgo biloba 'Little Weeper' in NZ

Ginkgo biloba 'Little Weeper' grows best in full sun and well-draining soil, making it well-suited to most parts of New Zealand. This dwarf weeping variety prefers a sheltered spot when young and benefits from regular watering during dry periods until established. It is highly tolerant of cold, wind, and urban environments. For best results, plant in soil enriched with compost and mulch around the base to retain moisture. Fertilise each spring with a controlled-release fertiliser to promote healthy growth. Minimal pruning is needed—remove any damaged or wayward branches in winter.

Its pendulous, fan-shaped leaves offer excellent ornamental appeal, especially when they turn golden yellow in autumn.
