Ginkgo biloba L. was considered to be an extinct species, only in 1691 it was discovered
in Japan and described by E. Camping. In Japan, Ginkgo biloba became widespread from China
in the Epochs of Kamakura and Muromachi (1192–1573), growing near temples as a
decorative plant. In Europe, Ginkgo biloba began to spread from 1727 – Utrecht (the
Netherlands), (the first cultivated tree was grown), 1930 –Geetbets (Belgium), 1750 – Anduze
(France), Padova (Italy), 1758 – Slavkov (Czech Republic), 1762 – Kew (Great Britain), 1770 –
Vienna (Austria), 1977 – Daruvar (Croatia), 1781 – Harbke (Germany), 1788 – Montpellier
(France). In the 80 of the XVIII century – North America.

The object of the study is Ginkgo biloba in the territory of the natural reserve fund of
Polissya, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe (Ukraine). On the basis of the conducted inventory of
Ginkgo biloba its distribution in Ukraine was analyzed.
In Ukraine for the first time Ginkgo biloba was cultivated in the Ternopil region
(Kremenets Botanical Garden) in 1811; in 1818 – in the Crimean peninsula (Nikitsky
botanical garden), 1819 – in the Kharkiv region (Krasnokutsky arboretum (imported from
China)), 1847 – the Kyiv region (O.V. Fomin botanical garden, brought from Kremenets
botanical garden), 1859 – the Zhytomyr region (park-memorial of landscape art «Park named
after U. Gagarin»), 1894 – the Odessa region (botanical monument of nature "Square named
after I.I. Mechnikov"). Since 1910 – Ginkgo biloba – is being planted in Sumy, Cherkassy,
Vinnitsa, Poltava regions, mostly single specimens or groups of 2-3-5 plants.
Within Ukraine Ginkgo biloba is growing nowadays on the territory of 74 objects of the
nature reserve fund (5 – Polissya, 47 – Forest-Steppe, 22 – Steppe) in almost all regions of
Ukraine. Ginkgo biloba is most widespread in the park-monuments of landscape gardening
(PMLG) of Forest-Steppe (26). A significant number – is growing in PMLG of Steppe (9),
botanical monuments of nature (8) and arboretums (7) of the Forest-Steppe. Ginkgo biloba is
represented in 11 botanical gardens (one – Polissya, 5 Forest-Steppe and 5 Steppe), where it
is growing individually, in a group (3–5 specimens) and in an ordinary planting (the National
Botanic Garden named after M.M. Grishko of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine),
the age of plants does not exceed 200 years.
Ginkgo biloba was discovered in 18 regions, mostly represented in the Kyiv region (16
objects) and the Odessa region (10), in the regions of Cherkassy, Kharkiv and Poltava the
number of objects of the natural reserve fund where Ginkgo biloba is growing ranges from 5
to 7, in other 13 regions Ginkgo biloba is uncommon and is growing in one or two objects.
Thus, for more than 200 years of its introduction in Ukraine, Ginkgo biloba was
discovered only on the territory of Polissya, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe in 74 objects of the
natural reserve fund, which are concentrated in 18 regions of Ukraine.
Keywords: Ginkgo biloba L., distribution, Ukraine, region.
