Let's take a look at how to raise potted ginkgo trees.

Growth habit

Ginkgo biloba is a light-loving tree with deep roots and wide adaptability to climate and soil. It can grow in areas with high temperature and rain, few rainfall and cold winter, but it can grow slowly or poorly. It can grow on acidic soil (pH value 4.5), calcareous soil (pH value 8) and neutral soil, but it is not tolerant to saline-alkali soil and over-wet soil.

Sowing and reproduction

Ginkgo tree sowing and propagation is mainly used for large-area greening seedlings or the production of cluster-type bonsai. After the seeds are harvested in autumn, the outer seed coat is removed and the seeds with pericarp are dried so that they can be sowed in winter or in spring the following year. If sowing in spring, mixed sand stratification must be carried out to accelerate sprouting. When sowing, put the seed germ horizontally in the sowing ditch. After sowing, the soil is 3-4 cm thick and compacted, and the seedlings can grow to 15-25 cm high in the same year.

Pot planting

Ginkgo biloba was propagated by cutting, ramet, grafting and sowing. Because the ginkgo tree is a deep-rooted tree species, it should be planted in a relatively deep flowerpot, generally in the spring and autumn season, and the requirement for the soil is not high, but if the sandy soil rich in humus, loose and fertile, and good drainage performance can be used, that kind of planted ginkgo will grow better.

Display place

Potted ginkgo trees have requirements for placement, although they belong to light-loving trees, they can not be placed in places exposed to sunlight for a long time. They must choose places where there is a lack of sunlight and where they are ventilated and wet. To avoid sun exposure in summer, you can take proper shade. Although ginkgo trees are hardy trees, they should still be buried in pots in winter, which is the safest way to spend the winter.
