Spiders have taken the opportunity to spin their spiderwebs in the exotic Ginkgo tree.
Hello Lance. I hope your Oasis is still prospering and your site is still active . I stumbled upon your site when searching for anything concerning spider webs and ginko trees. I planted eight five whips four years ago (now 4-7′ tall) and while strolling along I thought of them and of my possible mistake in planting such a tree species which, according to most sources, has few insects or other creatures to feed upon it.
Bottom line, I found no insect damage on any of the trees, but I did find a small spider web in two of the trees. It was nice to see the interaction of species. There was little in either small web however, except for a fruit fly sized insect or two in one web , and an old cherry blossom one spider seemed in the process of inspecting in the other. John Irwin
Grasshoppers tend to damage my young ginkgoes, they love eating the tender bark.
