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.
