Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers about Ginkgo Biloba seed preparation, tree development, and male and female Ginkgo trees.
Do Ginkgo Biloba seeds need cold stratification to germinate?
Yes, Ginkgo Biloba seeds commonly benefit from cold stratification to help overcome dormancy and improve germination. Clean the seeds and keep them in a moist, well-drained medium under refrigeration for approximately 8–12 weeks. After stratification, sow them in a suitable seed-starting mix and maintain consistent moisture. Germination time can vary depending on seed freshness and growing conditions.
How long does it take for a Ginkgo tree grown from seed to mature?
Ginkgo Biloba is a slow-growing tree, particularly during its early years. A seed-grown tree can take several years to develop into a substantial landscape tree. It may also take approximately 20 years or longer to reach reproductive maturity. Growth depends on climate, soil, sunlight, and overall growing conditions.
How can you tell the difference between male and female Ginkgo trees?
Male and female Ginkgo trees generally cannot be reliably identified from their young leaves or seedlings. Male trees produce pollen, while mature female trees develop seeds surrounded by fleshy outer coverings with a strong, unpleasant smell when fallen. The sex of a seed-grown Ginkgo tree may take many years to become apparent.
