Ginkgo Biloba 'Maidenhair Tree' Seeds

Grow your own "Maidenhair Tree" with our Ginkgo Biloba seeds! This ancient tree was used historically for improving memory and cognitive function, now you can grow your own at home!

Instructions:

We recommend using the following to sow the seeds: 

• Planter with Humidity Dome
• Soil Pods 
• Liquid Fertilizer 

It's highly recommended to stratify these seeds for 3 months in the fridge, you can do a simple dry stratification by placing the tin or baggie with the seeds in the fridge prior to planting. This helps replicate the natural winter conditions the seeds would normally experience. It can also help to soak in diluted hydrogen peroxide(~3%) prior to sowing to help sterilize the seeds. Grows well in zones 4-9 if growing outdoors.
