  1. 5 Tips to Plant Columnar Ginkgo Tree Location Matters 01. prefer full sun, rich, well-drained soil, and air circulation. It's best to plant it in an open area where it can get plenty of sunlight throughout the day. These trees also don't grow well in damp or poorly-drained soils, so it's important to make sure that the soil around the planting area drains well. Columnar Ginkgo Trees Proper Planting Techniques 02. Dig a hole in the planting area at least twice the width of the root ball and slightly deeper than the root ball's height. Place the root ball in the hole and backfill the hole with soil. It is essential to water the tree after planting to make sure that the roots are well-established. Watering and Fertilizing 03. Water the tree deeply once a week, and if the soil feels dry, give it a good soak to help the roots grow deep. Avoid letting the soil around the tree dry out entirely, as Ginkgo Trees do not like dry soil. Apply organic fertilizer in early spring before the tree starts to produce new growth. Pruning Mulch 04. 05. Columnar Ginkgo Trees do not require pruning, but it's essential to remove any damaged or diseased branches during the dormant season to keep the tree healthy. Make sure to use clean and sharpened tools to avoid leaving any jagged edges, which can damage the tree. Adding a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the tree can help reduce weed growth, retain soil moisture, and protect the roots from extreme temperatures. It's crucial to spread the mulch evenly around the tree, leaving a 1-2 inch space from the tree's base to prevent rot.
