Planting & Care

Select a location receiving full sun to partial shade and prepare a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball, keeping depth equal to the ball's height. Incorporate organic matter into heavy clay soils to improve drainage, then position the tree so the root ball's top sits level with surrounding ground. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once settled, reduce watering frequency significantly—this tree handles dry spells well. In late winter, perform light pruning only to remove crossing branches or improve air circulation; ginkgos need little shaping and recover best from minimal intervention.
