The Ginko tree leaves have just changed to their yellow fall color. Gikos are so amazing!! I like to post them every year.
The ginkgo is often called a "living fossil" because it is the only surviving member of an ancient group of
trees that existed hundreds of millions of years ago.
· Some ginkgo trees are documented to be over 1,000 years old, and a few may be much older.
· Ginkgo trees have distinctive fan-shaped leaves unlike those of any other common tree.
·
Several ginkgo trees survived the atomic bombing
of Hiroshima and continued growing afterward, contributing to the tree's
reputation for resilience
"Its roots hold
centuries; its leaves hold sunlight."
