Description
The Ginkgo Tree, also called the Maidenhair Tree, is one of just a few surviving trees to have inhabited the earth 150 million years ago. It’s an unusual and unique tree from China with interesting 5-inch wide, two lobed, somewhat leathery, fan shaped bright green leaves that in fall turn the brightest, brilliant yellow of any tree in existence.
Note: All of our Ginkgo trees are males, which means they won’t have the stinky flowers the females do.
Landscape & Garden Uses Â
Growing slowly from 50 to 70 feet tall and 30 to 40 feet wide, the Ginkgo tree is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or spaced in rows to delineate a property line, drive or street. It is also ideal for use to accentuate entryways, frame tall homes and structures, or to provide shade for patios, decks and other sitting areas.
Suggested Spacing:Â 20 feet for solid row;Â 45 feet or more for space between trees
Growing Preferences
One of if not the easiest trees to grow, the Ginkgo adapts well to adverse growing conditions in urban areas. It is remarkably free of diseases, is insect resistant, and exceptionally drought tolerant when established. It adapts well to most soil types, even clay, and won’t be bothered by moist or dry soil conditions. Soil pH is of no concern as Ginkgo trees perform well in both acid and alkaline conditions. Avoid pruning other than to remove damaged branches or lower branches to expose more trunk. Over time Ginkgo trees fill out well with no pruning.
Plant Long & Prosper!

This was my first time using this company and I found them on a random Google search. Man, I am so glad that I did. This company was so quick with shipping and kept me updated through the entire process. The item arrived within a week of ordering and it was in EXCELLENT condition. It was placed in the box in a way that all of the leaves and branches were untouched and everything was in perfect condition. This beautiful tree is now planted in the ground and thriving : )

I ordered my Ginko from Wilson Bris Nursery and was a little worried about how it was going to hold up shipping so far away. It arrived packed very safe and secure, just as they stated. I planted it the next day and it appears to be very happy in its forever home! Im looking forward to watch it grow for many years to come!——————————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

My wife has wanted a gingko tree for years and local nurseries have not been able to supply one. So I went online. I was impressed by your inventory and reviews, and so ordered a 3 gal. potted tree from you. It arrived in excellent condition – really professionally packaged – and it seems in perfect condition. We are conditioning it now for planting and are enormously pleased with the product, speed of delivery and quality of the product. I cannot over-recommend your company . Thank you.————————————————————–Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Bluffton has sandy soil, high humidity, and lots of bugs. Think swamp. This tree is perfect for my location in that it can handle these challenges. I researched extensively and definitely wanted a male tree for my specific purpose. Finding one has been challenging – none of the nurseries in my area carry Ginkgo at all. And online, finding a decent sized male is not easy.
The tree came well packaged, in soil, and has adapted with relative ease in transplantation. It arrived healthy and strong with a solid stock. I will be purchasing from Wilson Bros again. Thank you.————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

A well established tree with a nice healthy root ball in its soil/pot. It was easy to plant based on the marking on the trunk to know where to plant. We had some new growth within a few weeks, tree is thriving 3 mos later——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
Arrived in great shape, planted immediately, seems to be doing well. So far so good!———————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Nice healthy tree and very well packaged for delivery. I snagged the 3 gallon version so it’s pretty tall already. I plan to bonsai this tree so I might just replant it in the yard and keep trimming it down every year.————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I’ve been wanting a male Ginko for years… I found this site (Wilson Bros) and was excited to see that they had this tree on their site. I immediately ordered it!!

We absolutely love our new ginkgo tree! It was delivered in perfect condition, and it will make a great addition to our yard for, hopefully, years and years. I would highly recommend Wilson Brothers (my mom and I have bought a lot of bushes and trees from them), and I would definitely recommend this gorgeous tree!——————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

This beautiful little tree was sooo well protected and packaged. It was tied in the box securely, there were damp paper towels (?) placed around its trunk bottom and the soil was moist. Very impressed! It’s been a couple weeks now and it has lost 3 leaves but is adapting nicely. I’m very glad to have it.—————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
The ginkgo I ordered came in great shape! I ordered in the middle of summer, and it still came in great shape!

The tree arrived in very good condition. The box was more than adequate to insure the plant was safely transported. It also shipped very quickly! I have wanted a gingko tree for several years and am very happy to finally have one. While the trunk was a little curvy for my taste, I’m sure it will be fine once it begins growing.——————————————It should strighten as it grows, you might be able to stake it and straighten it up some. We are glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the review! Beth | WBG 🙂
This was a gift to a friend in MI. I was thrilled to find a company that has free delivery. The tree arrived in very good condition.

A nice sized specimen arrived. We love the shape of the leaves. We are looking forward to it getting colder and the leaves changing color to the most vibrant yellow. I had seen one in Boston and absolutely had to have one in our yard. Thank you for having one available!——————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I had never ordered a tree through the mail and never ordered from Wilson Brothers. The tree I received could not have been better! Straight, healthy as tall as I could hope For in a 3 gallon container. Communication was perfect. I knew when the tree shipped and I know I had it 48 hours after it left. Packaging was good and no damage. I had my tree 6 days after I ordered it. I am happy, happy, happy!————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Thank you for sending the tree so promptly. It is larger than I expected and I got it planted right away. Just a comment about the shipping – The curved stabilization piece of cardboard scraped off the bark on the tree trunk at that spot, so it would help to put a piece of tree wrap or bubble wrap around the trunk to protect it.
Thanks again!————————————–I will definitely bring this to the attention of the manager and packers. And are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review!:) Beth Steele | WBG

I have always loved Gingko trees and finally bought one after losing a tree. It arrived well packed, and I planted it right away following their website planting recommendations. I admire it every day! Wilson brothers is great to do business with, and I’m so thrilled that I found them.——————————————–Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG 🙂
My tree was delivered in great condition. I was impressed by the sturdy packaging and quick delivery. I followed the planting instructions and the tree is looking healthy and is thriving. I looked for a long time to find a male gingko tree. Of course, you can find gingko trees for sale on a lot of websites but Wilson’s was the only place I found that specified a male gingko. (The female gingkos drop a messy, putrid-smelling fruit.) I’m looking forward to placing more orders with this company.———————Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
Wilson Bros does about the best job of packing small trees I have seen. I order Ginkgo Trees from several sources and never need to worry about shipping damage from Wilson. They are also very timely in getting my trees in the mail. Time will tell if they all flourish but all the trees I have ordered from Wilson are doing well in the early years!————————WBG Reply: Hi Joe, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Ginkgo Maidenhair Tree.

We are very happy with our purchase! I do a good amount (probably too much) online plant shopping and have been disappointed time & time again, but there was absolutely no disappointment with our new Ginkgo child. It has already begun to grow & flourish so much. Exciting times ahead! Thank you for the excellent service & product,—————————WBG Reply: Hi Emily, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Ginkgo Maidenhair Tree.

My Gingko Tree was packed and shipped well and was a healthy, nice size, tree. It is doing well and I am very happy with it and with Wilson Bros Gardens. Thanks for a great tree and a positive experience. —————— WBG Reply: Hi Michael – Thanks for the compliments and for taking your time to provide your review on the Ginkgo Tree. Great to hear it’s doing well and hope you enjoy it for years to come. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
All three trees are surviving so far after two weeks. I ordered the 5-6′ tall trees. Once planted these are only 4′ tall. Kinda small for the price in my opinion. ——————– WBG Reply: Hi Jon – Thanks for letting us know about this and I’m very sorry for the mistake in size. It sounds like one of our “pickers” accidentally picked your trees from a new, shorter crop rather than the older crop that are all 5 to 6 feet tall. I have instructed our store manager Spencer to send you a refund of $20 for each tree, totaling $60. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns with this offer. We aim to please and aren’t happy until you’re happy. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
My ginkgo tree arrived in great shape, and it is thriving. Thanks for answering all my questions so promptly and fully.

Glad to hear you’re happy with your new Ginkgo tree and hope you enjoy it for years to come. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with.
