Bogo Ginkgo

Bogo Ginkgo

　　Bogo Ginkgo is a specialty of Bogo Township, Mingguang City, Chuzhou, Anhui Province. In the late 1980s, Bogo Township began developing ginkgo production, which peaked in the mid-1990s when the township’s ginkgo planting area reached 10,000 mu (the entire township spans only 22 square kilometers), earning it the title “Ginkgo Capital of Anhui.”

　　The local soil, water, climate, and environment are well suited to the growth characteristics of ginkgo trees, which thrive in shade and dislike waterlogging. In the golden autumn, step into Bogo and enter a vibrant painting, a golden dreamland, where you can admire the unique beauty of ginkgo, appreciate its distinctive ecology, and feel its special charm. You will find Golden Bogo shimmering with radiance, a brilliant yellow that dazzles the eyes. Golden Bogo will leave you with a wonderful impression—eyes full of gold, hearts full of hope.

　　Currently, ginkgo production has become a pillar industry for the rural economy in Bogo Township. The township’s ginkgo planting area covers nearly 10,000 mu, with around 400,000 ginkgo saplings planted, including one tree over 100 years old, more than 160 trees over 50 years old, and 20,000 trees with a diameter of 15 cm or more. The annual sales from saplings, leaves, fruits, and processed products amount to over 10 million yuan. It is projected that in five years, the total value of ginkgo-related resources in the township will exceed 1 billion yuan.
