Ginkgo

Ginkgo: The Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is a deciduous tree native to China and the far East. Ginkgo's date back over 200 million years, so there's been some time to learn about this species and its growing habits. Ginkgo thrives outdoors and can be left outdoors late into the fall. The Ginkgo's leaves emerge late in the spring. Usually, after night-time, frosts are an issue. 

BONSAI CARE

Ginkgo should be placed in sunny areas, ideally with minimal shade during mid-day. 

Watering:

1. Ginkgo like moist soil and should not be let dry out. 
2. Ginkgo needs to be winterized during the winter, and the soil should be kept minimally moist. 

• Training: Ginkgo does best when new shoots are allowed to grow to 6 or more leaves and then cut back to the first two leaves.
• Ginkgo can be wired year-round and take well to wiring. 

• Repotting: young Ginkgo requires repotting every other year. Mature Ginkgo can be repotted every 3-5 years. The root system should not be pruned aggressively.
