Ginkgo trees are considered a deciduous evergreen and are believed to be part of a line of trees that have persisted for 150 million years! Ginkgo trees are either male or female. We sell only the male tree as the females produce fruit that emits a foul smell when they fall to the ground. ‘Autumn Gold’ has a symmetrical broadly spreading habit. Fan-shaped leaves turn golden in autumn and persist for weeks, then suddenly fall to the ground creating a golden carpet
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these.
These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care.
These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death.
About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size.
