Get ready for a truly bizarre and beautiful botanical marvel—Weeping Wonder Ginkgo is not your average tree. This rare, dwarf ginkgo boasts a mesmerizing blend of leaf forms on a single plant: thread-like, curled, and the iconic fan-shaped leaves all twist together on gracefully weeping branches. With a petite habit, it's a perfect fit for small gardens, focal points, or for the discerning collector. Stake it for an upright silhouette, or let it sprawl for a more architectural, sculptural effect.
Weeping Wonder Ginkgo emerges in spring with soft green foliage that matures to deep green through summer, before bursting into a show of brilliant golden-yellow in fall. It's not just ornamental—this ginkgo variety is pollution-tolerant, pest-resistant, making it ideal for urban gardens and low-maintenance landscapes. Each tree is genetically female, so with male ginkgos nearby, fruiting is highly possible—and if harvested and cleaned, the roasted nuts are considered a delightful delicacy in some cultures.
Originally discovered as a witch's broom mutation, this cultivar brings centuries-old ginkgo resilience into the modern garden with an artistic twist. Whether you're curating a rock garden, adding flair to a small courtyard, or seeking a conversation-starting focal point, Weeping Wonder Ginkgo offers four-season intrigue, extreme durability, and undeniable charm.
