A LIVING FOSSIL
The maindenhair tree,
or ginkgo biloba,
is easily one of the
most beautiful trees,
especially in the autumn.
With its fan shaped leaves
which turn golden in the fall,
the ginkgo is considered the
oldest living tree,
with fossils dating back
270-million years.
The small fruits ripen in
late autumn, and have many
medicinal properties.
Tengo varios en el parque aquí abajo y son preciosos.

So very beautiful. I don't think I have spent time around one of these trees.
