Gingko

Gingko biloba, often known as Salisburia adiantifolia or the maidenhair tree, is the only species of a genus, belonging to the Yew tribe (Taxinem), native to Japan and Northern China. It reaches a large size; has leaves of a unique shape, exactly like maidenhair, only thicker, with a long stalk and a bi-lobed, truncate, broadly cuneate blade; and bears a seed as large as a plum, though not seeding in England, where it is otherwise hardy.
