Learn About Your New Ginkgo biloba - Maidenhair Tree

Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as the Ginkgo or Maidenhair Tree, is a unique and ancient deciduous tree celebrated for its resilience and distinctive fan-shaped leaves. Growing to 20–35 meters tall with an 8–12 meter wide canopy, it offers a striking, broadly spreading crown that adds character and shade to parks, gardens, and urban landscapes.

Its bright green foliage turns vibrant gold in autumn, creating seasonal interest, while inconspicuous spring flowers maintain its understated elegance. Adaptable to various soils and urban conditions, Ginkgo biloba is moderately drought-tolerant once established, requires low maintenance, and is also valued for its medicinal properties. This timeless tree is perfect for those seeking both beauty and durability in their landscape.

  3. Plant the Tree: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  4. Backfill: Fill the hole with soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
  5. Mulch: Apply mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

Caring for Ginkgo biloba:

  1. Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells and the establishment phase.
  2. Pruning: Prune for shaping or to remove dead branches during the dormant season.
  3. Monitoring: Keep an eye out for common tree pests and diseases.
  4. Fertilization: Fertilize in early spring to support healthy growth.
