$30.00
The Ginkgo tree (Ginkgo biloba), also known as the maidenhair tree, is a living fossil and one of the oldest living tree species on Earth. It boasts unique characteristics and potential health benefits. Ginkgo trees are visually distinct, featuring fan-shaped, lobed leaves that turn a brilliant yellow in fall. Unlike most trees, they are deciduous conifers, meaning they lose their leaves in the winter but produce cones like pines and firs.
These resilient trees can reach up to 130 feet in height and have a lifespan of thousands of years, with some specimens estimated to be over 2,000 years old. Ginkgo leaves have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, believed to improve memory and circulation. Ginkgo trees are valued for their unique beauty, tolerance to pollution, and resistance to pests and diseases. They make excellent additions to parks, large gardens, and historical sites.
