Ginkgo Tree

Unique Leaves for Bright Yellow Fall Foliage

Why Ginkgo Trees?

Colorful, unique foliage, as well as pest and drought resistance, set the Ginkgo Tree apart. An unusual ornamental tree famous for its interesting shape and vibrant foliage, the Ginkgo stands out with its tall, rounded form and delicately-crafted leaves.

In fact, this is one of the first trees to change colors in the autumn months. While other trees are still green, the Ginkgo transitions to a fluorescent yellow. And it thrives all over the United States. It’s especially perfect for urban areas since it won’t be bothered by smog and other pollution.

The best part about growth at our nursery is that it means a head start for you and long-lived, healthy results in your own landscape. Adaptable to many different types of soil, our Ginkgo is also resistant to pests and will be drought resistant in maturity.

So, reap the rewards of our hard work at the nursery. Get your own Ginkgo Tree today!

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Select a spot that takes the mature height and width of your Ginkgo Tree into consideration. And give it an area surrounded by well-draining, preferably sandy soil, as well as ample sunlight.

When you’re ready to plant, dig a hole twice as wide and a little deeper than the root ball. Soak the Ginkgo Tree in a bucket of water before planting. Once the roots are hydrated, place the tree in the hole. The surface of the root ball should be about 1 inch below ground level. Replace the soil you removed from the bottom of the hole, filling in around the root ball, then water the planting site.

2. Watering: Water your Ginkgo Tree regularly each week and more often as necessary during hot, dry periods.

3. Fertilizing: There is no need to add fertilizer as Ginkgo Trees will thrive with the nutrients available in the soil. If you do, you can fertilize with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in the spring.

4. Pruning: Pruning early to develop one central leader is highly recommended to ensure healthy, strong development.
