Just took a nursery stock Chi Chi that I purchased last weekend and put it in a grow pot. It’s grafted material, but the graft doesn’t appear to bad.
I’m hoping that’s the caseLooks great. In a few years, when the bark naturally gets "wrinkled" it will be impossible to find the graft line. Nice ginkgo to work with.
I should, but my wife might just kill meBuy them all!
Build a narrow 12”x30”x 3” grow box.
Make a jumbo forest planting.
I picked this up at Conestoga Nursery in East Earl, PA. That’s the East end of Lancaster County. It was 98$If you don’t mind, what state and how much $?
I have a huge mature specimen near me that I have grabbed sprouted seedlings from under last year.

Thanks for the detailed procedure. I’m not ready to delve into cuttings just yet though. I will be attempting my first ever air layer this year on a Japanese MapleYou can root cuttings of ginkgo. Not the easiest of species to root, but it can be done.
After leaf drop in autumn, take cuttings, at least 2 nodes. Set out to air dry about 12 hours. Then wrap entire cuttings in damp long fiber sphagnum or damp paper towels. Put in plastic bag, put in refrigerator for 2 to 4 months. Remove from refrigerator when starting your spring seedlings for garden, I would wait until end of Feb. But my winter doesn't end until mid April.
Strike, meaning set up, cuttings in pots with end to root down, tops up. Keep moist, most will tent or keep in plastic bag for humidity. Tiny leaf or two will open, don't disturb the cuttings. Sometime in the next 6 to 12 months roots will form. Once roots form, suddenly you will get a burst of growth. Branches will eventually start forming.
You will then have "on their own root" 'ChiChi'
By the way 'Chi Chi' is male, it should never have seed.
I've never seen a container grown ginkgo produce seed, even named female clones, I have never seen fruit in a container. It might be a function of size and age. It might just be I don't get out enough ( meaning it happens but I have not witnessed it happening)
Ginkgo nuts are delicious, once properly cleaned. They deserve to become a more frequent part of the north american diet.
