1 Ginkgo tree: 3 years old - current height: 80-100 cm
Common Names : Ginkgo, Chinese Temple Tree , Maidenhair Tree
Scientific name : Ginkgo biloba
Family : Ginkgoaceae
Plant history & use:
The ginkgo is a unique tree. It is the last living species in its order: Ginkgoales, which first arose over 290 million years ago. The tree is very similar to the ancient trees from which it originated. Its closest relatives today are cone palms and conifers.
The tree was cultivated early in human history and is still widely planted. It is considered a living fossil. The trees are very long-lived, with some specimens estimated to be around 1500 years old.
Both seeds and leaves are edible. Ginkgo leaves have long been regarded for their reported positive effects on cognitive functions, such as memory and concentration.
The seeds are used both in ground form in Asian rice porridges ( congee ), and roasted and salted to be eaten as a healthy snack with other dishes and drinks.
