Re: Gingko Fertilizing……

Question

I have a miniature variety in a tub on my deck, “Meriken” (I always remember the variety because it sounds like “American”). Based on your recommendation of a pound of fertilizer per 2.5cm of diameter would be about 3 ounces for a roughly 20″ or 50 cm diameter. Would potted plants of this miniature variety have the same ratio used to determine the dose?

Answer 1

I would say no becuase the area in the dripline is different. Since it's in a container, I would use the 10-10-10 and follow instructions on the fertilizer for how much to use in containers.
