maidenhair tree

Maidenhair Tree (Ginkgo biloba 'JN9' SKY TOWER) should be watered approximately every 3 weeks when soil becomes dry. During summer months, the tree may require more frequent watering, up to once per week, while during cooler months, it may require less water or even no water. Water the tree until the soil is moist but not saturated. Overwatering can cause root rot and other health issues. Temperatures should generally be above 55 degrees Fahrenheit for optimum growth.

The amount and timing of sunlight needed for a Ginkgo biloba 'JN9' SKY TOWER maidenhair tree will depend on its location and the time of year. In general, this species of tree prefers partial shade or dappled light, meaning it should only get a few hours of direct sun each day. In the spring and summer, it should get shade during the hottest part of the day, and during the fall and winter, it should get a few hours of filtered sunlight each day. These trees also thrive in environments where they can get some morning sun and afternoon shade.

Maidenhair tree should be lightly pruned in early spring, when the new growth appears. Prune selectively by removing any dead, diseased, injured, or wayward branches, while keeping the plant's unique shape intact. It is best not to remove more than a third of the tree's total growth in any 1 season. Pruning too heavily can lead to weak, unhealthy inward growth or a decrease in the tree's overall vigor.
