RE: Grow Ginkgo

in #homesteading7 years ago

It is also one of the best-selling herbal supplements in the Canada, United States and Europe and is used for many things like treating blood disorders and memory issues. A simple green tea can be made from the green leaves that grow back every year.

does it have any distinct flavor?

The female produces fruit that smell bad but have some uses so if you want a female it may have to be grown by seed. The ginkgo tree grows best in Hardiness Zones 3–8.

would it be best to just buy the tree instead of trying to grow it from seed or by propagation?

and as a source of food.

how is it consumed? what does the fruit look like?


great read!

Sort:  

We find it has a very mild plain taste.
Here in Canada it would be hard to find a female tree to buy no one we have been to sells the female trees.
Never consumed or seen a fruit of ginkgo tree ours is a male, in pictures looks like walnuts hanging from the tree and from what I read people mostly eat the nut in side.
Hope that helps

Thanks!!
