When to plant ginkgo seeds

1. Sowing time

Ginkgo seeds can be sown in spring or winter, and the specific sowing time depends on personal needs. If you want a fall harvest, you have to plant in winter; if you want a winter harvest, you have to plant in spring. However, it is recommended to plant in March and April in spring during these two seasons, when the environment is more suitable and more conducive to later growth.

2. Sowing Method

1. Seed selection: When planting, choose large seeds and pick out the thin and shriveled ones, so that the seedlings that develop later will be stronger.

2. Germination: Its seed coat is relatively hard, so it must be germinated before planting. Soak the selected seeds in warm water for two or three days. Remember to change the water every day. After soaking, take out the seeds and place them on plastic paper. Then spray water every day to keep them moist. Small sprouts will emerge in about a week.

3. Prepare soil: Prepare sandy soil with good air permeability as the substrate, and the soil layer should be deep, because the root system will grow stronger in the later stage.

4. Sowing: When planting, first dig a hole in the soil surface with your hands, then place the sprouting seeds horizontally in it, cover with a thin layer of soil, water thoroughly, and wait for it to germinate and grow.
