Hiking

Ginkgo biloba L., 1771 is a gymnosperm plant, the only surviving species of the Ginkgoaceae family, of the entire Ginkgoales order (Engler, 1898) and of the Ginkgophyta division. It is a very ancient tree whose origins date back 250 million years to the Permian[2] and is therefore considered a living fossil. It is a relict species and owes its resilience to its high resistance to drought and cold (−34°C) and air pollution.[3] Ginkgo biloba is the symbol of the city of Tokyo.
