通常来讲，银杏的繁殖方法主要有有分株、插秧，嫁接三种方法：
Generally speaking, there are three main propagation methods of Ginkgo biloba: ramet, transplanting and grafting
1.分株法
1. Ramet method
在2-3月之间，从银杏雌树的根部长出来的芽条，把它挖掉，要带有毛细根，移栽定植，栽前要施肥，栽的深度要适当，移栽后干旱的时候要浇水。
Between February and March, the buds growing from the roots of Ginkgo biloba female trees should be dug out, with capillary roots, transplanted and planted, fertilized before planting, planted at an appropriate depth, and watered when it is dry after transplanting.
2.扦插法
2. Cutting method
此法要在夏天扦插，从树上选取当年的软枝条，剪成10厘米一节，底部切成斜面，用生根液浸泡30分钟，扦插在土壤里，经常喷水，一个月就可以生根。
This method is to cut in summer. Select the softwood of that year from the tree, cut it into a section of 10 cm, cut it into an inclined plane at the bottom, soak it in rooting solution for 30 minutes, and spray water in the soil frequently. It can take root in a month.
