Ginkgotree in the botanical garden of Oslo
Grünerløkka, Oslo, Oslo • Norway The ginkgotree - also known as maidenhair tree - is the only specis of the Ginkgoales. Native to China and from there first exported to Japan before it arrived in the 1700s in Europe. It is also called a living fossil as it was once unclear if it could be found in uncultivated areas. Nowadays it is an attractive fungus and insect-resistant ornamental tree that also tolerates cold weather.
