Clica Dwarf Ginkgo Tree

Ginkgo biloba 'Clica' is a dwarf selection with a compact, multi-stemmed mound and small, ruffled light-green leaves. The American Conifer Society reports a size of about 3.5 feet tall by 4.5 feet wide after ten years, while noting slow annual growth; that age-specific measurement helps with planning but is not a final mature-size guarantee.

The source recommends full sun to partial shade. Ginkgo foliage is deciduous and generally turns yellow in fall, the species' familiar seasonal display.

The ACS record does not give a USDA hardiness range for Clica, so confirm local suitability with the nursery providing the plant. ## Maintenance Water consistently during establishment and prolonged dry weather. After establishment, prune lightly to remove damaged growth while preserving the naturally dense outline. Do not treat the ten-year dimensions as a permanent size limit.
