"3 SPROUTED"

Gingko Biloba “Maidenhair” Tree Seeds

The Ginkgo Biloba is One of the Oldest Living Tree Species in the World. It's the Sole Survivor of an Ancient Group of Trees that Date Back to Over 350 Million Years Ago, before Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth – Creatures that Lived between 245 and 66 Million Years Ago. It's So Ancient, the Species is Known as a 'Living Fossil'. A Gorgeous Addition to Any Landscape, in Autumn, Ginkgo Leaves Famously turn Golden Yellow all at Once, Producing a Stunning 'Leaf Dump' on a Single Day in October. It's just Another of it's Unique Characteristics! All Deciduous Trees Form a Scar Between their Leaves and Stems in Autumn, to Protect Against Disease and Frosts. Ginkgo has a Long History of Use in Treating Blood Disorders and Memory Issues. It is Best Known Today as Way to Potentially Keep your Memory Sharp. Laboratory Studies have Shown that Ginkgo Improves Blood Circulation by Opening up Blood Vessels and Making Blood Less Sticky, and is Also an Antioxidant. Ginkgo biloba trees (that is, the species plants, as opposed to the cultivars) reach 50-80 feet or more in height, with a spread of about 30-40 feet.

Plant Ginkgo trees in an area that receives at least four hours of direct sunlight daily. These trees thrive in full to partial sun. Ginkgo trees grow in various soil types, including a pH range of acidic to alkaline, loamy, moist, rich, clay, and sandy soils. These trees prefer moist, well-drained soils and grow best in sandy soil. They are also tolerant of compacted soil making them a good choice for urban areas. Ginkgo trees are suitable for coastal areas but also grow well as street trees since they are resistant to air pollution. Fairly drought-resistant once established, Ginkgos should keep moist soil during its first few years of growth—water a few times a week. Avoid planting Ginkgos in consistently hot, dry climates. These trees need proper watering to thrive, especially when establishing roots. Areas with a temperate climate—not too hot in the summer or cold in the winter—are best. It's best to fertilize the planting hole before growing a new Ginkgo tree. Plant these trees in the spring for the best results. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer will help encourage new growth, but mature trees don't require anything.
