Ginkgo should be fertilized twice a year. If this is what you are doing, I wouldn't increase the amount of fertilizer.

If it has been very hot, you may need to water. If you still have problems, try contacting a local arborist to come out and take a look at your trees.

I have 2 Ginkos on my property one of which has started to produce seeds. I recented found a small plant in the near by garden that appears to have the same leaves as the ginkos. I have been trying to find a picture of a young tree to see if maybe it is a new one growing. Can anyone help me?

Hi Michael, Your tree is probably still recovering from the winterkill or frost. Did this happen again to it this year? (We had snow flurries on May 18 in NY this year!) The Ginko tree is very resilient. Continue to make sure it has water and a mild fertilizer appropriate for the size of the tree. It should bounce back assuming no other environmental disasters befall it!

I purchased a small ginkgo tree 2 years ago in the spring. It seemed to be doing well. The following spring after the leaves had just started we had a frost. The leaves shriveled and fell off, but came back later. This spring I have leaves, but the tree doesn't seem to be growing. The ends of the branches seem dormant and the tree has not grown at all. It is in a sunny spot and I make sure it has water and fertilizer. Any suggestions?

Eating the leaves is not usually recommended. The medicinal properties of ginkgo in supplement form is achieved by processing the leaves to remove the toxic properties. It is much safer to purchase ginkgo in supplement form or consult with an herbal practitioner.

I have recently read somewhere that consuming the leaves of a Ginkgo tree can have adverse effects on the body. Can anyone clarify as to whether or not this is true? (Only one source) And if so, how many leaves can be ingested without any unfavorable side effects? (For supplementation purposes)

You will see new buds on your Ginkgo in the spring.

There are many nurseries that carry ginkgo. If you cannot find it locally, try Nature Hills Nursery or Park Trees and Shrubs.
