History
Chinese Ginkgo type ginkgo nut was selected or named in commercial and orchard practice as growers refined regional stocks.
Orchard and trade grading spread Chinese Ginkgo beyond its first districts where climate allowed.
Chinese Ginkgo entered wider export catalogues as named-variety marketing grew for nuts.
Specialty buyers continued to request Chinese Ginkgo for predictable flavour and size in roasting and baking.
