Ginkgoes, also known as Ginkgo biloba, are unique trees that have existed for over 200 million years, making them one of the oldest living tree species. They are easily recognized by their fan-shaped leaves, which turn a bright yellow in the fall. Ginkgoes are often planted in urban areas due to their resilience to pollution and pests. These trees are dioecious, meaning there are separate male and female trees. The male trees produce small pollen cones, while the female trees produce seeds that can be messy and have a strong odor when ripe. Ginkgoes are also known for their medicinal properties and are commonly used in herbal supplements.
