- Longevity is one of the properties of the Ginkgo biloba tree. Its life duration can reach several thousand years. It is said to be the oldest tree in China and is about 3500 years old!
- Its longevity is one of the reasons some people consider the Ginkgo tree as one of the wonders of the world. The tree is durable and can survive in many areas around the world in most temperate and subtropical regions.
- Another distinctive fact on the tree is that the bark and leaves of the plant are thought to secrete juice that act as a fire retardant. During the Great Fire following the earthquake in Tokyo, Japan in 1923, many of these trees survived while others perished.
- It is said that Confucius spent time reading, reflecting, and teaching under such a tree, which led to his special importance in Confucianism.
- The Ginkgo biloba tree is native to China. One of the most interesting facts about it is that it is also known as the “living fossil“, because Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest living tree species, being around for more than 250 million years.
- An interesting fact is that the Ginkgo biloba was the only survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. There were four trees that were charred but still survived and are claimed to be still alive and thriving.
- There are no natural diseases that infect the tree and the tree does not appear to have insect problems. This may be one of the reasons for his longevity.
