gingko problem(i think)

| recently moved from the south to a far more northerly setting and brought a couple of gingko seedlings along with me in their 4 inch pots. on the one hand i know they need a dormancy period but on the other i'm conserned that the winters up here will be much more severe than what they could possibly be prepared for when i consider that their mother is conditioned to nearly zone 8.
please advise as i have no clue what to make of this. |

| I think Pancotto must have posted to the wrong thread. I've done that before. It can be very embarrassing. LOL Ginkgos are hardy to around zone 3, so zone 4 will probably not be a problem assuming they are planted in the ground. I did notice that you said they were seedlings. Do you have them in pots or did you plant them? Do you have any way to provide them with a little extra protection until they are established? Provenance can make quite a bit of difference in some species, but those are more the exception. More typically, provenance makes a very little, or no, difference in hardiness. Ginkgos aren't native anyway, so immediate provenance differences should be nil. I would be more concerned about the seedlings being in pots (if they are) or not being well established (if they were recently planted), than I would where they came from. |

| interrresting! i took them out of the ground and potted them up just this past summer. they've been in their pots ever since. perhaps i should put them in the ground and mulch heavily? |

| Either that or overwinter them in an unheated garage or somewhere that will provide some protection but still ensure they stay dormant. If it's possible to plant them and provide a little protection, that's what I'd do. |
