The trees grow in alkaline, acidic, moist, silty loam, wet, well-drained, sandy, and clay soils. They transplant easily and establish themselves quickly. They are an excellent option for urban settings since they are resistant to air pollution, soil salts, and heat. They can withstand wind and snow. The trees love partial sun and full shade. They thrive when they have around four hours of unfiltered, direct sunlight.

Ginkgo Biloba trees have bright green, fan-shaped leaves 2 to 3 inches long and wide. In the fall, the leaves turn yellow. The trees grow pyramidal. People consider Ginkgo trees shade trees and ornamental trees. The trees grow, spreading canopies that can block out sunlight. They can live for as long as three thousand years, though they grow slowly for several years after planting.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
