Ginkgo seed planting method and time

1. Seed planting method

1. Substrate: Soil selection is very important for planting. Choose a substrate with a deep soil layer and good drainage ability. Sandy loam is best, but it also needs to contain nutrients and the pH value needs to be lower.

2. Seeds: It is best to choose mother trees that have been planted for about 80 years, and the quality should be good and produce many fruits. If you do not have these conditions, you can be more relaxed. It is best to harvest seeds with large grains, so that they will grow better later and rarely show signs of growth decline.

3. Processing: If sowing in autumn, remove the outer seed coat and then dry the seeds with the peel. If you choose to sow it in spring, you must soak it in water and mix it with moist sand to germinate.

4. Place the processed embryo horizontally in the ditch, cover it with 3 to 4 cm thick soil and compact it. The seedlings can grow to 15 to 25 cm high in the same year.

2. Time Selection

Spring and autumn are both good times. Autumn planting should be done from October to November, which allows the root system a long time to recover. In this respect, spring is not as good as autumn.
