How many years does it take for a ginkgo tree to bloom and bear fruit?

1. How long does it take to bloom and bear fruit?

If you want the ginkgo tree to bloom and bear fruit, you need to wait a long time because it grows very slowly. Usually, it takes about 20 years from the beginning of planting to the fruiting period, and the number of fruits at this time is not large. It will take about 40 years of growth to produce more fruits.

However, the ginkgo trees that have been artificially grafted and cultivated can greatly shorten the time it takes to bear fruit, and can bear fruit after only 3 or 4 years of cultivation.

2. Result Time

Under normal circumstances, ginkgo flowers will bloom around April, and after a few months, it will bear fruit, which will mature around October. Its fruit is the ginkgo nut we often see, which is yellow or orange when ripe. It should be noted that when picking the fruit when it is ripe, you must wait until it becomes soft and turns yellow before picking it, otherwise it may cause damage to the ginkgo tree.
