Foreword
Typicall species Ginkgo biloba is only surviving species of Ginkgo familly. During selections, mutations and through botanical interventions there were more than 200 types of known cultivars beeing grown and some of them can not be compared with its beaty with no other plant. Ginkgo's cultivars take a very special place in horticulture so it is very important to get introduce them.
Some of them were grown especially for industrial purposes for example for fruit quantity production or to grow leaf in as short period of time possible or leaf size, etc.
Just as for typical species Ginkgo for cultivars also certain rules apply. Growing
cultivars is no different than growing typical species except the reproduction part. Cultivars are reproduced mainly by cuttings and occulation and barely from seed.
In cultivar growth there is a major problem that should be mentioned – most
cultivars are beeing grown in male speciment and very rarely in female.This just another way to prove alarming state for survival of Ginkgoas species in future (naturaly complete). There is a real danger from disapearance of natural propagation for this species through seeds, because there is a drastic difference in growing feemale plants.
