The species shows a preference for disturbed sites ; in the " semi-wild " stands at Tian Mu Shan, many specimens are found along stream banks, rocky slopes, and cliff edges.

These strategies are evidently important in the persistence of Ginkgo ; in a survey of the " semi-wild " stands remaining in Tian Mu Shan, 40 % of the Ginkgo specimens surveyed were multi-stemmed, and few saplings were present.
