Ginkgo biloba, often referred to simply as ginkgo, is one of the oldest living tree species, with a lineage dating back over 200 million years. Native to China, it is sometimes called a "living fossil" due to its ancient origins and resilience. Ginkgo trees are easily recognized by their unique, fan-shaped leaves, which turn a vibrant yellow in the fall. The tree is highly adaptable, thriving in urban environments and resistant to pollution and pests. Ginkgo biloba is widely known for its medicinal properties. Extracts from its leaves are commonly used in supplements to support cognitive function and memory, particularly in older adults. It is believed to improve blood circulation and possess antioxidant properties, although scientific evidence on its effectiveness is mixed. Despite this, ginkgo remains a popular herbal remedy around the world. In addition to its health benefits, the tree holds cultural significance in East Asia and is often planted near temples and shrines for its symbolic value.
