Ginkgo Cuttings

  • An experiment on cuttings propagation of ginkgos, again. I have had no success in the past with hormone powder and soil attempts. Gary S (SBBK) has had high success just putting in water to root.

  • Attempts shown, modeled after an Instagram reel using coco coir in a bag. Also attempted in soil—but wired to immobilize potential roots.

  • Placed in a perforated bag, wired tightly and sitting in a diluted “SuperThrive” water basin.

  • Attempting use of a tea bag, sitting in the solution.

  • Warming mat.

  • Also straight water.

  • Early May 2025

Tree was on Ralston, near the freeway, about 50ft tall, but relatively small leaves. Also observed this pollen cones from this male tree. Will not seed.
