Ginkgo biloba
Dinosaurs, city trees, and autumn dyers
This plant survived dinosaurs or better to say, it survived what the dinosaurs did not survive. Ginkgo biloba is considered a living fossil and came into existence as early as 250 million years ago. Ginkgo biloba is also a botanical specialty. It is considered a bridge plant between coniferous and deciduous trees.
Undemanding and tough, the fan-leaf tree is ideally suited to the city since it is heat-tolerant, wind-tolerant, and city-climate-resistant. Its bright yellow hue in autumn also makes it an eye-catcher wherever it grows.
“Surprisingly, Ginkgo biloba can be well drawn as a trellis on south walls of a house; in spring you should cut it before its leaves are sprouted.”
Thomas Dieckmann, climate tree expert, Lorenz von Ehren Tree Nursery
