Ginkgo Tree
Description
You already know that the Ginkgo is one of the most recognizable trees, but did you know this Chinese native goes back over 270 million years?! What?! I know! It blew my mind too. I mean if that doesn't tell you that this is a hardy tree I don't know what will! Heck all of the Ginkgo's relatives are long extinct! Darwin would certainly recommend the Ginkgo. An individual tree can live as long as 3000 years! Yes, I mean 3000; that isn't a typo!
Fall lovers, eat your heart out! The Ginkgo welcomes autumn earlier than other deciduous tree when its lovely and unique, fan-shaped green leaves become a bright and bold yellow.

How To Care
When planting your Ginkgo tree be sure you have the right location and conditions for your new tree to thrive. Spring and fall are ideal times to plant. However, if you avoid extreme temperatures you can't plant any season depending on your zone.
These trees grow in full and part sun and prefer soil that is well-drained. The Ginkgo can adapt to any soil and even clay as long as it isn't saturated. This tree can even tolerant varied pH ranges. Mulching will aid in keeping the roots cool and moist in hot environments and protected from extreme cold in colder zones. Add a layer of 2 to 3 inches of mulch. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as this increases the chances of pests and disease. Ginkgos should be watered deeply about twice weekly until established. The Ginkgo is drought tolerant once established. Fertilize in early spring and when planting to give your tree a boost. Choose a slow release fertilizer. Ginkgo trees don't require pruning, but, if needed, prune when they are dormant to remove any dead, dying, or crowded branches, or to maintain shape. Ginkgos are pollution and salt tolerant so they are great street trees. Ginkgos are extremely resistant to pests and diseases.
