Why Some Ginkgo Trees Cost Over $10,000: The Story of the World’s Most Valuable Tree

The Ginkgo biloba, often called the “living fossil,” is one of the most remarkable and valuable trees in the world. Known for its fan-shaped leaves and brilliant golden color in autumn, this ancient species has existed for more than 200 million years. Because of its unique beauty, longevity, and rarity in large mature form, some ginkgo trees have become among the most expensive ornamental trees used in landscaping and historical gardens.

In the international horticulture market, mature and well-developed ginkgo trees can cost several thousand dollars, while rare specimens may reach $10,000–$15,000 or even more. The price depends on factors such as the tree’s age, size, trunk diameter, symmetry, and historical significance. In countries like China, Japan, and South Korea, centuries-old ginkgo trees are highly treasured, especially those growing near temples, monasteries, and historical sites. Some of these trees are believed to be over 1,000 years old, making them priceless natural heritage.

The demand for ginkgo trees is also strong in landscape architecture and luxury garden design. Wealthy homeowners, botanical gardens, and public parks often invest in mature ginkgo trees because they create a dramatic visual impact, especially in autumn when the leaves turn a glowing golden yellow. In some cases, entire gardens are designed around a single magnificent ginkgo tree.

Beyond its beauty, Ginkgo biloba is also valued for its medicinal properties. Extracts from its leaves are widely used in herbal medicine to support memory, brain function, and blood circulation. This dual importance—both ornamental and medicinal—adds to the tree’s global value.

Today, the ginkgo tree symbolizes longevity, resilience, and peace. Its ability to survive pollution, harsh climates, and even historical disasters has made it one of the most respected trees on Earth. For collectors, gardeners, and plant enthusiasts, owning a mature ginkgo tree is not just landscaping—it is owning a living piece of ancient natural history.

Ginkgo biloba plants for sale

Ginkgo plants at: http://jkmpic.blogspot.com
The director, Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre JKMPIC, Sheikh Gulzaar planted Ginkgo biloba saplings in JKMPIC, North Kashmir here yesterday on Monday. While taking to media persons on the occasion, he said Ginkgo biloba  is a heritage tree of the country and as such is a protected plant. Until 2007, Ginkgo biloba plantation day was observed on March 21 “World Arboretum Day”. However, keeping in view the magnificent and majestic look and attachment and concern of the people of the country of Kashmir with this tree, Kashmir government decided to observe March 15 of every year as Ginkgo biloba  Plantation Day, since 2009.

The director said another advantage of pre-poning the date from March 21 to March 15 is that longer period for plantation. During last two years 12373 saplings of Ginkgo biloba  have been provided free of cost to the people for plantation in different areas of the country Jammu Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre has established nurseries for propagation of Ginkgo biloba saplings and during current plantation season and 93373 saplings are available for distribution.

Sheikh Gulzaar said that anybody who is interested in plantation of Ginkgo biloba tree can contact the concerned Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre and obtain Ginkgo biloba  plants.

As per the un-authentic data of 1970, about 42000 Ginkgo biloba trees of different age groups and sizes were existing in thecountry . But with the passage of time, turmoil, development programmes and population explosion,Ginkgo biloba  trees have faced the brunt of greed like the forest and other plants had to face.

Under such circumstances, JKMPIC took the serious initiative for raising the Ginkgo biloba saplings for sustained efforts for annual plantation of saplings.

In order to determine the actual number of existing Ginkgo biloba  trees in the Kashmir , a preliminary census was initiated by the Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre from 2002 which was completed in 2009.
