Ginkgo biloba 'Weeping Wonder' is a curiosity - a narrow, upright tree-form of maidenhair tree with random main branching growing in every imaginable direction, weeping branchlets; and leaves that are somewhat thicker than typical, some with exceptional dissection. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 6 feet (2 m) tall and 2 feet (60 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm).
This cultivar originated as a prostrate female witch's broom found in the early 2000s by Rich Eyre and Mike Dirksen in Springfield Illinois. In Europe, this plant is known as 'Mutant Weeper'.
