Ginkgo Tree, Oil on canvas, 60 X 80 cm – © 2024. Ginkgo Trees are not just awe-inspiring and spectacular but also historic. The Ginkgo Biloba falls among the world’s oldest tree species alive. It is the last of an ancient family of trees and has been around since dinosaurs, who lived between 245 and 66 million years ago. These trees are so old that they are also called “Living Fossils.”Further, a Ginkgo Leaf is also used by the Usasenke Tea School of Japan, as it symbolizes happiness and good fortune.
