I’m really happy to find a someone who puts as much focus on the evolution of plants as animals. We only ever hear about the evolution of animals, only hearing half of the story. It’s refreshing to hear the other half of earths biological history.

Very interesting videos you make. You should add the ginko co2 measurements info to your brilliant video about the fossil that might save the world.

Could they have an unidentified scavenger as a seed disperser in Asia? I have kept the plant sometimes, but I don’t know how I managed to kill the last one. Apparently they die sometimes, even those Hardy species. It was interesting to see how the leaves were growing exactly like the flowering plants. For example, when the tree was overwatered, it curled its leaves, like a normal plant. They make short shoots all over the long stems, but this is common also in many temperate trees. Even the temperate hibiscus does it. I have also grown them from seed. Pretty amazing. They don’t have a real seed dormancy, so they must be sown immediately next year. They are quite edible though. My rabbit had destroyed some seedlings, and I gave her some leaves from the larger trees from time to time. So coulded the species have been disadvantaged today because it grows so slowly and it is vulnerable to mammals?
