Flora Weekend - Ginkgo
Classified as a living fossil, the ginkgo tree has remained largely unchanged since it's first fossil records over 170 million years ago. Individual trees are long lived as well with a 1,400 year old tree living at the Gu Guanyin Buddhist temple. The most famous feature of a ginkgo tree is that their fan-shaped leaves turn a brilliant yellow color and drop all at once when ready in the fall.
