Plant Family Collection: Ginkgos
Not all gymnosperms are conifers. The well-known ginkgo, with its fan-shaped
leaves, lacks cones. Its seeds are encased in a fleshy, malodorous outer
coating. The tree, which has been grown in monastery gardens for thousands of
years, is no longer found in its native habitat in China. Signs marking the
specimen in Ginkgo Triangle tell the story of this tree's ancestors, which date
back to the Triassic period, 225 to 190 million years ago.
