Optimizing Ginkgo Harvest for High-Quality Extracts
2026-06-23
Field investigations across various standardized Ginkgo biloba planting bases in China reveal that large-scale plantations strictly follow seasonal cycles, designating June to August as the core harvesting season. Compared to spring and autumn leaves, summer ginkgo leaves not only offer higher yields and lower harvesting costs, but also contain fewer impurities and more stable active compounds, ensuring the quality of the finished Ginkgo biloba extract right from the source.

According to industry planting technicians, harvesting spring leaves too early results in insufficient active compounds, which directly lowers the purity of the extract. Conversely, waiting until autumn when the leaves turn yellow leads to a severe loss of active substances, rendering the raw materials essentially unusable. Only leaves harvested during the peak summer foliage stage strike the perfect balance among yield, appearance, and functional compounds, making them the ideal raw material for pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and skincare products.
