Ginkgo is about as close to a maintenance-free large shade tree as central Indiana gets — it shrugs off compacted clay, road salt, alkaline builder fill and narrow tree lawns, and it carries essentially no pest or disease list. So when a ginkgo generates a phone call, the problem is almost never the tree's health; it's fruit, an uncorrected fork, or a tree planted somewhere it will outgrow.
