Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without crowding, place the tree at the same depth it grew previously, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first year to help establish a strong root system. Once established, Ginkgo is quite drought-tolerant. Pruning is rarely needed; remove only dead or damaged branches. Fertilize lightly in spring if growth is weak. With proper care, this ancient tree will provide beauty and shade for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live bare root Ginkgo Tree (\u003cem\u003eGinkgo biloba\u003c\/em\u003e), 1-2 feet tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836025012534,"sku":"FOLIA2-1905","price":91.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6649768149_kzkh.jpg?v=1793097493","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/ginkgo-tree-ginkgo-biloba-live-bare-root-plant-1-2-feet","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
