maidenhair tree

Maidenhair Tree (Ginkgo biloba 'Tubifolia') should be watered moderately throughout the growing season. During the spring and summer months, it should be watered once a week to ensure the soil is moist but not saturated. In the fall, waterings can be reduced to once every 2 weeks. In the winter, when the soil is colder and less moisture is lost through evaporation, it can go even longer without being watered, up to once a month. Always check the soil to make sure it is not dried out before watering. During any period of extreme heat or dryness, the Maidenhair Tree may need additional waterings.

Maidenhair Tree (Ginkgo Biloba 'Tubifolia') should receive at least 3-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. This should be accomplished by placing the tree in a location that receives full sun in the early morning and late afternoon. Additionally, during the fall and winter months when the sun is lower in the sky, you'll want to ensure that the tree still receives at least an hour of direct sun each day. If your Maidenhair Tree is placed in a shadier area, it may not grow as vigorously as it would in the sun.

The maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba 'Tubifolia') is a hardy and fast-growing species of tree, and should be pruned each year to maintain its desired shape. To do this, we recommend pruning in early spring before the new growth emerges. Light pruning should include removing any dead, diseased, or damaged branches. You should also remove any suckers or water sprouts that appear. Light shaping pruning can also be done at this time to maintain the desired shape. This could involve thinning out the canopy to let more light and air into the center of the tree. For more substantial pruning, wait until late summer or early fall when the tree is not actively growing. During this time, you can safely remove larger branches, cut back the main trunk, and perform any other heavier pruning needs. This kind of pruning is especially important if the tree has become overgrown. Ideally, pruning of maidenhair tree should be done only when necessary in order to keep the tree healthy without compromising its natural shape and form.
