| Ginkgo biloba =living fossil tree |
Ginkgo trees thrive best in cool to temperate regions of India, such as Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kashmir, and higher elevations of the North-East. However, with proper care, they can also be grown successfully in other parts of the country. The tree prefers well-drained soil, moderate watering, and full sunlight, and once established, it is highly resistant to pests, diseases, and air pollution.
From a commercial perspective, Ginkgo biloba is valued for its leaves, which are used in herbal extracts known to support memory, circulation, and cognitive health. Because the tree grows slowly but lives for centuries, it is considered a long-term investment for medicinal plant growers and nurseries. In India, Ginkgo trees are available for sale as seeds, young saplings, and nursery-grown plants, making it possible for both hobby gardeners and commercial growers to cultivate this remarkable tree.
