25 Ginkgo Biloba Trees - Live Plants 6 to 8 inches

Description: Ginkgo Tree (Maidenhair Tree, Fossil Tree, Living Fossil) Botanical Name: Ginkgo biloba This listing is for twenty-five (25) Ginkgo trees that range in size between 6 and 8 inches in height. The trees you will receive will be between these ranges of size as there will be slight differences from the photos in the listing as no two plants are the same. They will be guaranteed vibrant and healthy and ready for transplanting. We do not ship with the pot as the pot allows for too much soil moisture evaporation. It will be securely adhered to the package wall for the safest shipping method possible. PLEASE NOTE: We do not sell these trees sexed. It will take about 20 years from seed to flower to determine the sex. The only reason desired for sex determination is for seed production. Most individuals prefer not to have both sexes as the fruit and seeds can become a nuisance during late summer and early fall. PLEASE BE ADVISED: From October to March, we ship these plants in their dormant state. This means they will have no leaves. The stem will be strewn with buds for this coming spring's growth. If you live in a southern state, these will push new growth upon planting them as dormancy is dependent on hours of daylight and temperature. We are located in New York State and temperatures can differ drastically around the country. Please contact us with any questions on dormancy. We do send dormant planting instructions with every order.
