Ginkgos, often called “living fossils,” have existed for over 200 million years, remaining virtually unchanged from their ancient ancestors of the dinosaur era. An incredibly hardy tree, the ginkgo thrives in both hot and cold climates and withstands pollution, poor soil, pests, deer, and inconsistent watering. Its distinctive fan-shaped leaves create a stunning golden display in the fall. Remarkably resilient, six ginkgos survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and are still thriving today. Resilient, historically significant, and visually striking, the ginkgo is a timeless addition to any landscape.
