Have you ever seen a ginkgo tree?
I've seen one, actually two, only because my Dad liked them and had a couple planted in front of his house years ago. They're quite tall now and growing taller with each passing year but my Dad won't be around to enjoy seeing them grow because he no longer resides among the living. (He passed away after being in hospice for about a year with congestive heart failure.)
What is a ginkgo tree? Ginkgo trees are native to Asia and have been around for over 200 million years. These trees are the only one of their species which makes them unique. They are scattered all over Tokyo, Seoul, and Manhattan. Their distinctive leaves are shaped like a fan. These trees actually survived the atomic bomb and have stood resilient to smog and pests. One downside is their unpleasant odor which comes from the seeds. Ginkgo trees are timeless.
