Description

Planting Zones:

The Gingko Biloba ‘Maidenhair Tree’ is well-suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 4-9.

Growing Guide:

  • Container Size: Since you’re starting with a 3.5-inch pot, it’s important to transplant it into a larger container before planting it in the ground. Choose a pot that is at least 10-15 gallons in size to give the roots ample space to develop.
  • Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial for the health of your Gingko Biloba. A loamy soil enriched with organic matter is ideal.
  • Sun Exposure: These trees thrive in full sun to partial shade. Ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Planting Depth: When planting in a pot, ensure that the root ball is at the same depth it was in the original container. In the ground, it should be planted at a depth similar to what it was in the pot.
  • Spacing: If planting multiple trees, space them at least 30 feet apart to allow for their mature size.

Pruning and Care:

  • Pruning: Gingko Biloba ‘Maidenhair Tree’ is generally low-maintenance and requires minimal pruning. Remove any dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering sessions.
  • Fertilizing: In early spring, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
  • Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
  • Pest and Disease Management: These trees are relatively resistant to pests and diseases, but it’s always a good idea to monitor for any signs of trouble.
  • Winter Care: Mulch around the base of the tree before winter to protect the roots from freezing temperatures.

By following these instructions, you’ll be well on your way to growing a beautiful and healthy Gingko Biloba ‘Maidenhair Tree’. Enjoy the natural beauty and historical significance this tree brings to your garden!

Proud Products Guarantee!!

Plants from Daylily Nursery are guaranteed to arrive healthy and green. If you have any concerns or are dissatisfied within the first five days of receiving your plants, please email or call our office so that we can help make it right! Plants require proper care and nourishment to adapt to their new surroundings. Unfortunately, if your plants have received less-than-ideal care or were purchased for planting outside of your recommended growing zone, your purchase isn’t covered by our guarantee. Zone recommendations are provided in our listings.
Exercise caution and use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. This allows your plants the longest possible growing season. Summer and very early fall are also suitable, as long as your plant is placed in optimal conditions and receives adequate water during the hotter, dryer periods of the summer. Late fall and winter are very risky in most areas, as our plant material ships from cozy greenhouses and will struggle adapting to very cold or frozen soil, or abrupt changes in temperature. This can easily cause damage, stunting, or failure to thrive. When in doubt about suitable planting times or zone compatible plants for your area, reach out to your local Agricultural Extension Office.
If issues with your plants arise within the first 30 days of receipt, please email or call our office. Our knowledgeable staff will review your concerns and provide guidance and troubleshooting, or a one-time replacement if necessary. The customer assumes responsibility for the cost of shipping the replacement. Happy Planting!
