What does the ginkgo tree look like? Ginkgo pictures

1. What does it look like?

The leaves of the ginkgo tree are fan-shaped, with long petioles. Overall, they look like a fan, which can bring us a cool feeling. If you look at the leaves upside down, they look like a skirt, as if you could dance with them when you put them on. If you put the two leaves together, the whole thing looks like a butterfly. Its leaves are green at first, and then turn yellow before falling in autumn, making it extremely ornamental.

2. Growth Environment

It is a light-loving species with low requirements for climate and soil and strong adaptability. If it is located in a place with high temperature, high rainfall and cold winters, the growth rate will be slower. If you want it to grow more vigorously and faster, you should provide it with a deep soil layer, good drainage environment, and regular exposure to the sun. Such an environment is conducive to growth.

3. Distribution Area

It is a rare tree species in our country and also a specialty of our country. The cultivation area is wide, extending to Shenyang in the northeast in the north, Guangzhou in the south, the 40-1000m altitude area in East China in the east, Guizhou in the southwest, and western Yunnan. It is now cultivated in Korea, Japan and all over Europe. In cultivated areas, most plants are propagated by seedlings or grafted seedlings. Grafted seedlings can bloom and bear fruit 8-10 years earlier, while seedlings generally have to wait 20 years before producing seeds.
