A 12′ Ginkgo tree

Question

Three years ago we moved a Ginkgo tree. The first year it leafed, but it has not leafed since. The branches are all still flexible and the sap is still under the bark, showing a nice green. My wife wants it removed but I say it’s still alive.

Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks Adrian

Answer 1

This could be stress. Perhaps the weather has been unusual, causing the ginkgo to remain dormant for a while. Since it still seems to be alive, I would give this tree another season to see if it recovers.
