Upon arrival, soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a site with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the spread roots and deep enough so the root crown sits at or slightly above soil level. Backfill with native soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, ginkgo is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Pruning is rarely needed; remove only dead or damaged branches. These trees are generally pest and disease resistant, making them a hassle-free addition to the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 bare root Ginkgo biloba maidenhair tree starters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824734568758,"sku":"FOLIA2-1117","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6633873625_9t12.jpg?v=1793004374","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/3-ginkgo-biloba-maidenhair-trees-bare-root-starter-live-plants","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
