The Ginko trees have turned yellow, and every year I love to post them!
They
are living fossils, having survived the Jurassic period. They have existed unchanged
for 270 million years. This makes it the oldest tree on earth, a living
link to the dinosaurs.
There is one in China that is 3,500 years old.
You can tell a Ginko because it's leaves are shaped like little fans.
Many of their fossils are about 270 million years old!
“A
childhood is what anyone wants to remember of it. It leaves behind no
fossils, except perhaps in fiction.” ~Carol Shields

Dear Ginny, your photos are magnificent with beautiful yellow 💛 hues. And your header is stunning.
Wow! I didn't know that. They are impressive for even more than their beauty.
Sam planted one in our front yard this past Spring...These trees are so very pretty in the Fall with all of their bright yellow leaves. Can't wait for mine to show off.
Wow, they're so pretty. What a cheery yellow color they are. They sure put on a nice show in the fall
I don't think we have those trees here. They really look magnificent!
I've always loved ginko trees, Ginny! Where I grew up, we had a gorgeous one in our yard that always turned the most brilliant yellow in the fall. I miss it!
