Wikipedia
gingko
Ginkgo is a genus of non-flowering seed plants. The scientific name is also used as the English name. The order to which it belongs, Ginkgoales, first appeared in the Permian, 270 million years ago, and Ginkgo is now the only living genus within the order. The rate of evolution within the genus has been slow, and almost all its species had become extinct by the end of the Pliocene. The sole surviving species, Ginkgo biloba is only found in the wild in China, but is cultivated around the world. The relationships between ginkgos and other groups of plants are not fully resolved.

A gingko, also known as ginkgo biloba, is a species of tree that is native to China and is known for its distinctive, fan-shaped leaves.

Ginkgo trees are also popular for their resilience and adaptability, making them popular in urban landscaping. The tree’s seeds and leaves have been used in traditional medicine for centuries.
