Ginkgo biloba 'Clica' / Clica maidenhair tree

Ginkgo biloba 'Clica' is a distinctive, upright dwarf selection of maidenhair tree with small, ruffled, light-green leaves, adorning a heavily branched, multi-stemmed, slow-growing mound. The resulting effect is a very tidy, refined specimen with eye-commanding texture. A site in full sun to partial shade will produce the most appealing plant. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 3.5 feet (1 m) tall and 4.5 feet (1.5 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 3 to 4 inches (7.5 - 10 cm).

Despite being a fairly new, eminently garden-worthy cultivar, it is currently of unknown origin. 'Clica' is one of eight selections made in 2020 for the popular ACS Collectors' Conifer of the Year program.
