The Ginko trees are turning colors now. Did you know they are the only tree left in their species, and are 270 million years old! So they are considered living fossils.
They are native to China, and were the first trees to come back after the atomic bomb was dropped. The memory drug Ginko Biloba is made from the dried leaves. I like how the leaves are shaped like little fans.

Interesting facts about the Ginkgo tree ! I learned about that tree while playing Farmville. I enjoyed the pictures tonight.
I read that in science class long ago. They are unique ... as are the catalpa trees (another I find pretty unique). Great photos Ginny.
Beautiful yellow ginkgo tree. I wonder if it is the same tree where the ginkgo nuts come from.
Wow, they're gorgeous. That bright yellow color is very showy.
So interesting and such a gorgeous tree!
What beautiful trees. I'm glad they have survived all these years.
All I know is that they are so beautiful...
That's amazing! And I did not know any of this even though I have seen you show the beautiful yellow leaves and the that look like sand many times but never knew about the bomb thing and also that they are are living fossils! I bet they are amazing when the wind blows and all those little fans are waving in the breeze
We have two near us and I love them - did not know the history of them tho.
Am back online and happy to see you are still posting delightful sights and words!
I've heard of the tree but never knew what it looks like - nor did I know all those facts about it. Wow!
So pretty!!!!

I enjoyed reading about ginkgo trees. What strong trees they are! And I enjoyed your beautiful photos. Amazing colors!
Beautiful and interesting! One I remember at this time of the year was in Williamsburg, VA. The leaves were such an interesting shape. Interesting information from Mr. Nakanishi.
