Planting Guide:

• Choose the Right Location: Ginkgo trees thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Select a sunny spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Prepare the Soil: Ginkgo trees prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 5.0-7.0). They can tolerate a wide range of soil types, but well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot.
• Plant the Seeds: Plant Ginkgo Seeds 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep in the soil, spacing them 15-20 feet (4.5-6 meters) apart to allow room for growth.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist. Ginkgo trees are drought-tolerant once established, but young trees need consistent moisture.
• Care for the Tree: Prune dead or damaged branches as needed. Ginkgo trees are low-maintenance and relatively pest-resistant, making them ideal for urban environments.
• Harvesting: Ginkgo trees produce seeds in late fall. The seeds are encased in a fleshy covering, which can be carefully removed when harvesting.
