Can Ginkgo be propagated by cuttings?

There are many ways to propagate ginkgo, including sowing seedlings, hardwood cuttings, and bud division. In addition, in order to obtain ginkgo seeds, bud grafting can also be used on the branches of female plants. This can encourage ginkgo to bloom and bear fruit early and reproduce a large number of seedlings.

Ginkgo cutting propagation

Ginkgo can be propagated by cuttings. When propagating ginkgo by cuttings, a better soil matrix is ​​needed. Basically, river sand, sandy soil, and sandy loam are chosen. The culture soil is prepared in a ratio of 3:3:4. The prepared soil is very nutritious, loose and fertile, which can meet the needs of ginkgo for rapid rooting and germination.

Ginkgo cutting time

Ginkgo is suitable for cuttings in spring from March to April, because the temperature has warmed up and the climate is more suitable. If cuttings are used, the cuttings are easier to survive. At the same time, spring is also the growing season for ginkgo, and the cuttings can grow quickly, which can effectively improve the survival rate.

Ginkgo cutting propagation method

Before ginkgo cuttings are carried out, the substrate needs to be prepared first. Generally, sandy soil is used as the seedbed, which is conducive to the growth of new roots. The soil needs to be disinfected before use to prevent infection of the cut of the ginkgo cuttings. Then the cuttings are inserted into the soil at a depth of one-third. If it is a large-scale cutting, it is generally necessary to maintain a row spacing of 25 cm and a plant spacing of 15 cm.
