Ginkgo biloba was one of the first trees cultivated by humans. It is considered a living fossil since the species exists today as well as in fossil record.
It is the only living species of the division Ginkgophyta, one of the oldest tree groups on Earth with fossils dating as old as 270 million years, before flowers existed.
They are known for being easy to grow, even in cities, since they are resistant to pollution, insects generally avoid them, and they can be kept artificially small.
Ginkgo trees are very resilient and have been known to live for several thousand years. In fact, six ginkgo trees were the only plants (or animals) known to have survived the atom bomb explosion in Hiroshima, Japan. All six are still alive today.

WARNING
Ginkgo seeds are toxic and should not be eaten in either raw or roasted forms. The seeds can be made relatively safe through proper preparation, but it's best to play it safe and avoid eating the seeds altogether.
