How to care for Ginkgo biloba Gold Spire ('Blagon'):
When despatched these trees have a tall main stem which is important at this stage in their development, with few branches. Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
Please note:
This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
