When established ginkgo trees do not require much fertilization. However, when trees are young, during the first 5 years or so, I like to apply a well-blanced shrub and tree type fertilizer, which contains a micronutrient package, in early spring. It's best to spread the fertilizer around the perimeter of the tree, where most of the feeder roots are located. Follow instructions on product label for application rates.

Other than to remove a broken or stray branch that spoils the shape of the tree, I rarely if ever prune my gingko tree. If you do prune, do so in late winter while the tree is still dormant and without leaves.

I've seen no serious disease or insect problems on my gingko tree. Constantly soggy soil could cause problems with the roots.
