Any ideas about taking cuttings from ginko trees?

 

[whfarro]

Haven't done it myself, But likely same as propagating most deciduous trees via a cutting.

This might help.

Ofr course you mean Ginkgo, and there's no reason they would do cuttings any differently than any other deciduous tree.

Dirr says he roots June cuttings from mature trees with 8000 ppm IBA. Cuttings root in 7-8 weeks.

Your results may differ. There's only ONE way to know . . .

Simple airlayers also work.

Thanks for this guys!

My mission to Ginkgo is via cutting or layer. I found a 70 footer, I may climb to throw a layer in!!!

Just a thought you might contact Mr. Ginkgo. He has dozens and dozens of different varieties. Note though that most are grafted.

I did my toward the end of winter. I just stick them in a pond basket with turface. Almost 100% strike. I don't baby them at all.

Wow! Are they really that easy to propagate?

I seedling-cut ginkgos mid-summer and put them in the greenhouse w/ 100% survival of about 12-15 of 'em. Taking cuttings from established trees and seedlings probably involves different things though.

I'm sure you can grow cuttings, can you take an air layer which could result in a larger trunk? I like Gingko but they are slow growers.

Miss you Sir!

I hope you have seen my ficus.

Ever since you told me to get rid of those guy wires, and wire it proper.....it has become my favorite tree!

Thank You immensely BwayneF.

Ted Mattson told me how some on west coast do hardwood cuttings. Take the cuttings in winter, several weeks after leaf fall. Wrap cuttings in damp sphagnum, but leave cut ends exposed to air for 1 week to allow to seal, or harden off. Remove cuttings after a week, and plant cut ends in bonsai media, or potting soil, your choice, plant like you would for any other cutting. Fewer problems with damping off this way. Though from all reports, this may not be a necessary step. If you have rot problems, try this technique the next time.
