I would guess the reason why Disney can grow ginko in Orlando is because Orlando gets much colder than it does here in Vero. They are in the middle of the state, so the ocean does not warm the temperatures like it does here. Also, they are about an hour north of Vero, so they will get cooler temperatures being further north. An extra five to ten degrees could be the difference.
