The ginkgo trees are tall and straight, like soldiers waiting in formation, with extraordinary momentum. It can grow to more than 40 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a dozen-story building. Ginkgo trees are not only tall, but also long-lived, and can live for thousands of years. This kind of tree existed as early as 200 million years ago. It is a very ancient tree species. It is really amazing.
The autumn wind blows and the wild geese fly south. Ginkgo begins the most gorgeous chapter of the year. The leaves of the ginkgo began to change. It did not turn yellow, curl and wither like most leaves, but turned into a brilliant golden color. From a distance, it looks like a golden glow rising from the sky.
Notes on planting Ginkgo trees
1. Soil: Ginkgo has deep roots, so it generally needs to grow in a place with a relatively deep soil layer. This plant is not tolerant of salt and alkali, and does not like overly wet soil, so it often uses acidic soil and has good drainage. When planting in the ground, avoid planting in low-lying areas, otherwise it will easily accumulate water and flood the roots when it rains. For potted plants, sand can be added to the soil to enhance the drainage capacity of the potted soil.
2. Light: Ginkgo prefers light. Sufficient light is very helpful for the growth of the plant, and also allows it to perform photosynthesis better, which can accumulate more nutrients. Ground plants should generally be planted in a sunny location, while potted plants should be placed on the balcony so that they can receive light throughout the day. If there is insufficient light, the plants will have yellow leaves and fallen leaves.
