1. and 1a. > The below pictures shows the Ginkgo biloba
with nuts growing in the Botanical Garden of the University at Leiden
the Netherlands, planted in 1785. The Ginko in the Hortus at Harderwijk
the Netherlands is said to be planted in 1735 by "Linnaeus"
My wife in front of
the tree at Leiden is 165cm tall!
The
Ginkgo biloba is the world's oldest living tree, a species whose
existence can be traced back over
250 million years! For this reason, the Ginkgo was referred to as
a living
fossil in
1859 by Charles Darwin |
