watering

Maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba (Pendula Group)) should be watered moderately, approximately 1-2 times per week. Water the soil until it is saturated but do not overfill or allow water to stand on the surface for long periods of time. Generally, moist but not soggy soil is ideal. To ensure soil remains evenly moist when watered, it is best to use a watering can or soaker hose. In addition, during summer months, a light misting of the leaves is recommended to avoid drought stress. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot and nutrient deficiencies.

sunlight

Maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba (Pendula Group)) grows best in full sun, meaning it requires 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. When grown in partial shade, the tree will likely not reach its full size potential. If the location does not provide enough direct sunlight, supplemental light should be provided for at least a portion of the day. This can be done with the use of a grow light. Additionally, the sunlight should be provided consistently throughout the day; thus, for best results it is recommended to provide both morning and afternoon sun.

pruning

Maidenhair Tree (Ginkgo biloba) should be pruned annually in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be done to remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches, which could help reduce pest and disease issues. Prune to maintain a desirable shape and size by removing crossing or intersecting branches, and to remove water sprouts, shoots that grow parallel to the main branches. Remove approximately 10-20% of the longest branches. Take care not to remove all the branches of the same length or side, or to prune more than a third of the total foliage. Make sure to get in between the branches to remove any deadwood, and prune any twiggy growth that has come off the main branches. With proper pruning techniques, the Maidenhair Tree can be a healthy and beautiful addition to any landscape.
