Ginko Tree (forum)

Rieann starts with ...
My Ginko Biloba Tree is 20 years old, it is in a pot, been repotted 3x, only about 2m tall. Would like to plant it in the front garden but somewhat concerned that it might grow enormously, is this likely. Soil here is typical sandy WA soil. Will be watered for 10 minutes 3x a week.

Many thanks for information.

Hi Rieann, It does have the potential to grow into a large tree, you do need to consider the size of it fully grown before you plant it.

Thank you for that information. Do not need a 60foot high tree in the garden so have decided to repot the Gingko into a very large pot and sink it to the rim of the pot, in the garden. Will see how it goes. Hardened it off as it had been under a patio and is being re positioned in the garden this week.

Thanks again, Rieann

Rieann, the roots could still grow through the holes in the pot and will go into the ground eventually.

You could prevent this by planting into a large Bonsai bag, or another type of pot that stops roots growing through. There was a thread about these a few weeks ago, but can't remember the name.

Type 'trees in bags' in the search box for more info on growing in these bags.

Saw this Gingko tree at a place the other day that was laden with Gingko nuts which begs a few questions. As they are dioecious could you please advise if a female Gingko tree bears fruit on its own as there was only 1 tree in the proximity. Would also like to know how to tell when they are ripe for picking. Thank you.
