If ginkgo trees are planted in fertile soil, they can be grafted after three years, which is about 1 meter high. If you want to cultivate the old heap shape of ginkgo biloba, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

1, suitable material: Ginkgo bonsai, you can choose seedlings or old piles according to your own needs. Seedlings can be purchased, while old piles are mostly from Shan Ye. It is best to choose a pile with simple shape, healthy growth and no disease and observe its tree shape. A beautiful tree is suitable. Generally, the higher the requirements for pile materials, the better. Piles with uniform branches, beautiful root type, proper branch transition and long tree age are easy to become fine products.

2. Treatment of pile materials: some treatment should be done to the old piles. After selecting the old pile, the desired shape can be preliminarily planned according to the situation of the pile material, and unnecessary branches on the ground can be cut off. Note that it is best to intercept it slightly longer than the expected part, leaving room for processing.

3. Pre-treatment of modeling: the collected old piles need to be treated with branches, roots and piles to reduce nutrient consumption, and can be appropriately intercepted according to the needs of modeling. Generally, Ginkgo biloba has few lower branches and weak germination ability in the later stage, so it is extremely precious. Keep as many as possible, and cut off the disabled, poorly shaped and stout side branches.

The treatment of root disc is also very important. It is suggested to be smaller than the flowerpot by about 10cm, and the extra space can allow it to grow in the future.

4. Pile material cultivation: It is not recommended to put the old piles that have just descended into the basin first, because the survival rate is not high and the recovery time is too long. It is best to plant it in the ground first, and choose sandy land with good ventilation, loose soil and good drainage effect, which is conducive to survival and root growth. After planting, it is necessary to avoid direct light and keep moisture. It will take 2-3 years for the old pile to see the light after it is restored.

Pruning is one of the main techniques for modeling old ginkgo piles. Excess lateral branches, parallel branches, cross branches, over-dense branches, trailing branches and diseased dead branches are all cut off. The basic pruning methods are short cutting, thinning and shrinking. Short cutting means cutting off short branches, promoting lateral bud germination and facilitating later modeling. After short cutting, it can sprout twice and increase branches.
