Ginkgo

Brief Description

Ginkgo trees are large deciduous trees known for their distinctive fan-shaped leaves, which turn a brilliant golden-yellow in autumn. They have a straight trunk and an often irregular, spreading canopy. The leaves are typically bright green during the growing season.

Care Instructions

Ginkgo trees are very hardy and adaptable. They prefer full sun and can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, including poor or compacted soils, as long as they are well-drained. Once established, they are drought-tolerant. They are also highly resistant to most pests and diseases. Minimal pruning is usually required, mainly to maintain shape or remove dead/damaged branches.
