Repotting Gingko Trees was created by Beechnut

Posted 10 years 1 month ago #15446
Hello All. Im new on this forum my first post! Also brand new to 每日吃瓜 keeping. I bought a group of Gingko trees for my partner for his 60 birthday present. Unfortunately he has no interest in its care, but has left it to me! I have become more and more interested in this art form. My first interest is mainly Cacti.
At the moment its quite happy and does not need repotting just yet. Maybe next spring and im nervous to do this as a complete novice. Do the tolerate much root trimming and when would be the best time to do this? Would be very grateful for any advice please :)

Ginko are re potted in the spring as are most deciduous species. You could remove from the pot to check the roots, without disturbing them. Water and fertilise through the spring and summer months. I would protect from severe frost, depending on the country you are in you may not need to. I don't think they make good groups, but they are sold that way sometimes. Depending on the size of the trees will dictate how much pruning you do. Water when needed not to a schedule, that is when the soil is almost dry, then soak well.

Mine have been outside unprotected. One of 'm I only got a few months ago, this winter wasn't too bad. The other one I have for over 15 years and we have had some real winters in that period including one that had temperatures of -20 C.
