The great German poet, Goethe, was so inspired by this tree, he wrote a poem about it, simply entitled Ginkgo Biloba.. One of his best. And the ginkgo biloba tree so inspired me, mainly its incredible health benefits that I made a film about, available on my channel. The ginkgo tree was the only living thing that survived the blast of Hiroshima, in tact!! Not even a leaf off. Scientists were mindblown when they discovered this

The Hiroshima trees were stripped, like all the others. They're not magic. But they lived and leafed out again.

Thank you for the information. I harvested, for the first time last year, gingko nuts. I forage for food every year, free food for the taking and selling at farmers markets. Fantastic indeed. I forage for mulberries, blackberries, walnuts, acorns, june berries, thimbleberries and huckleberries. I live in Eastern Washington state close to the Blue Mountains where there is an abundance of super food, not many people take advantage of. This is food worth foraging for. I consider this fast food.

Actually, they were probably intended to be eaten by scavenging meat-eating dinosaurs. The irritating urushiol in the skin (same as poison ivy) probably caused them to be passed through quickly and deposited with a good bit of fertilizer.

They are so unique, that gynkos are their own (remainig) division within plant relm. The 'fruit' is not a fruit, as it does not develop from a flower. It is thus a seed. Having flowers is a rather modern charateristic in superior plants. Gynko is so ancient and fun. It has 'pine cone' like structures, the strobilus - present in more primitive types of plants such as ferns, that carry the pollen. The microspores (polen) form the male gamets that are multiflagelate (they are so pretty and unlike any other gamet in plantae). The litte swimmers travel within the female's ovaries (that are shaped like two circlar shapes mounted on top of a stalk) to fertilizes the ovule inside of it. The resulting cygote develops in a seed that has a soft outer layer - palatable to animal, like this cool mysterious onmivore. The seeds are enlarged developed ovaries that present themselves as two little balls mounted on a stalk. So pretty.

I am not sure flowering plants are "superior". Evolution is about fitting organisms to their environment, not about some sore of hierarchy. That the Ginkgo has survived so long as a species demonstrates it is not at all an inferior plant. Also, do not forget that the largest and oldest trees in the world are all conifers, not flowering trees.

I read somewhere, that inhaling vapors from Gingko leaves in boiling water, is very good for lung problems. I love this tree. I'm going to grow a Chichi bonsai, but want to grow it in a flame style, with lots of shoots coming out of the bottom. Somehow that is stimulated on older (20?25?) year old trees, to produce a flame of branches that grow up, all around the central trunk. Perhaps when the chichis form, they easily form buds. ITs hard to find info on this.

Most, if not all Cantonese (Southern Chinese) make this tasty congee called Gingko nuts rice congee. It's quite tasty and refreshing. Many Gingko trees are on the streets of New York City, at a certain time of the years the elderly Chinese ladies would hunt Gingko trees around their neighborhood, particularly in Brooklyn. for Ginkgo nuts, then sell them on the street of Chinatown. I am planning to buy some of the Gingko nuts from the women sometime this week when I am in Chinatown, to make the Gingko nut congee. ;)

You said the Ginkgo has a 56 million years old lineage. However Kew Gardens puts it older. I believe Kew is correct. "It's so ancient, the species is known as a 'living fossil'. Fossils of Ginkgo leaves have been discovered that date back more than 200 million years."

I have a Ginkgo Biloba tree...can I just pick the leaves and place it in boiling water for tea or is it best to dry the leaves first?
@Redrockat
@Redrockat 6 жыл бұрын
Amber M you may do that yes , also put the leaves in the coffee purculator or coffee machine in order to infuse the coffee . I find the fresh leaves are best ,but you may dry them for when the tree has no leaves in winter . Caution though ,the ginkgo biloba tea is very strong and a detox ,so it may give you a head ache if you make it too strong . I use three fresh leaves or if dried six per pot of pure ginkgo biloba tea 😊 hope this helps . Ps ,for winter times I always freeze the fresh leaves ,cut up three leaves , an make ice cubes . Once defrosted the leaves are as if from the tree and makes for a fresh cup in winter times .

There’s a gingko tree in my neighbourhood, every year I admire it, because it’s the last one still glowing in November. I might ask for permission to get a cutting. Am I right in thinking that it’s illegal for the female tree to be planted due to the rotting vomit smell.

Ginkgo's don't need to continue evolving because they have outlived their predators, have crystals of insecticide within their wood and are amazingly adaptable to all sorts of harsh conditions which is why it is such a widely planted street tree in cities. I would say that gingkos have been a huge success having survived this long.
