1. The price of ginkgo
2. The planting methods for ginkgo seedlings
1. Seed selection
(1) Ginkgo was already being planted before 2000. At that time, many farmers chose small seeds when selecting ginkgo seeds. The reason was that before 2000 the price of ginkgo seeds was extremely high, reaching more than 40 yuan per jin at its most expensive. More than 40 yuan back then was no small sum. And the smaller the seeds, the more there were per jin, and the more seedlings could be grown.
(2) But the seedlings grown from small ginkgo seeds are also small, while large seeds produce strong ginkgo seedlings that also grow better later on.
(3) In recent years the price of ginkgo has not been high, so the price of ginkgo seeds has also remained low. Therefore, if you are choosing ginkgo seeds now, you must choose large seeds. Generally, seeds of 240 to 180 per jin are best, with a bud survival rate above 80 percent. The ginkgo seedlings grown from such seeds are strong and also grow relatively well later on.
2. Planting time
Around Qingming Festival in spring is the best time to plant ginkgo. However, because China is a very large country with great regional differences, you can adjust appropriately according to the region. Generally it is around the time before and after the leaves of the ginkgo tree sprout.
3. Sprouting promotion
Sprouting promotion is to ensure the emergence rate of ginkgo seedlings. Sprouting promotion means planting sprouted seeds neatly in the nursery plot to prevent missing or broken seedlings.
4. Planting environment
Ginkgo seedlings are suitable for growing in places with good light, suitable temperature, and a mild, dry climate. You must choose land that is flat, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, with deep soil layers (preferably sandy soil and loess soil), loose and fertile soil, good soil aeration, a water source, and good drainage as the nursery plot. If the soil is relatively hard, you should at least do one thorough deep plowing and deep turning, mixing in about three thousand jin of farmyard manure per mu or about 200 jin of compound fertilizer.
