The initial growth of ginkgo trees is relatively long and has stronger sprouting ability. Ginkgo trees are divided into male and female plants. The male plant does not bear fruit, while the female plant generally begins to bear fruit after 20 years of growth. Ginkgo trees generally begin to sprout and spread their leaves from March to April, bloom from April to May, and mature their seeds from September to October. After October, they begin to shed their leaves. Common grafting methods used in cultivation areas include solid seedlings, transplanted seedlings, or rooted seedlings, which can bloom and bear fruit 8-10 years in advance. Ginkgo trees cultivated in various regions have old trees that are hundreds or thousands of years old.
