Thought to be extinct by Europeans?
[edit]For centuries, it was thought to be extinct in the wild, but is now a common tree cultivated throughout eastern China, Korean, and Japan. [...] Despite their widespread habitat, high genetic uniformity exists among ginkgo trees, with some Chinese scholars suggesting that ginkgo trees in these areas may have been planted and preserved by Chinese monks over a period of about 1,000 years.
Much of the article suggests that Asia has had the ginkgo trees for much of history, while ginkgo declined elsewhere. However, the first sentence of that paragraph doesn't specify who thought the ginkgo tree was extinct. Was this assumption just a European phenomenon?
