Maidenhair tree is probably one of the oldest species on Earth. It was here some 180 million years ago … obviously it was the time when the Dead Sea was still ill. Its extreme tolerance of various conditions made it survive to our time. One tree can live as long as 2000 years. And being so popular among growers and enthusiasts, it is no wonder that several varieties have been selected and hybridized to fulfill the dreams of plenty of ginkgo lovers.

Eiffel is an attractive maidenhair tree variety from the beginning of the new millennium. It makes compact, more densely branched trees or multistemmed shrubs with deciduous, 4-7 cm wide, fan-shaped, divided, mid green leaves (botanically classified as needles), that change to fantastic shade of bright golden yellow in autumn. It grows 20-40 cm per year. The ultimate height of this variety is yet to be determined but is expected to reach about 10 m. Eiffel's habit is bushy and the trees develop upright, broadly oval (egg-shaped) canopies. Their size can easily be controlled by early spring pruning.

Maidenhair tree can withstand adverse conditions – heavy soil, air pollution, lack of moisture, extreme frosts. Once established it can take drought all summer long. For best results, however, grow it in medium fertile, well-drained, moist soil in full sun. Fully hardy to min. -34°C (USDA zone 4).
