Dino tree
The Ginkgo has been around since the age of the dinosaurs and is one of the oldest surviving tree species in the world (270 million years old).

Leaves
The Ginkgo is popular not just because of its beautiful leaves and stunning yellow colour in autumn, but also because of the many medicinal qualities attributed to the leaves and fruit.

Baby
Here I am! Your very own baby ginkgo tree. I hope you will take good care of me. Put me somewhere indoors with lots of light and give me a little water every other day.

After 2 weeks
After 2 weeks of pampering, it is time for a larger pot! Preferably a pot of 2 litres or more with holes for drainage underneath (so I don’t ‘drown’).

Outside
You can now put me outside. Put me in partial shade for a week or so, so I can acclimatise to the harsh sun. In autumn my leaves turn yellow before I shed them.

Teenager
What you nurture will grow. I do my very best. Once I am twice the height of my pot, it is time for a larger home.

Fertilizer & temperature
In summer, I thrive outside in a sunny and warm spot. I get a little peckish when I develop new leaves and will be very grateful for a little extra plant food!
You need not worry about me in winter. I can tolerate temperatures of -35°C during dormancy.
