Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba is the oldest known species of tree on earth. Fossils have been dated to over 220 million years old. Fossil records have shown that ginkgo trees flourished across the North American continent till 7 million years ago. Due to the climatic changes our planet has been through, due to impacts from space and ice ages. The ginkgo was only found in southeastern China. Where it was saved from extinction by the Buddhist monks. The monks cultivated the ginkgo at their temples more than 1,500 years. In about 800 AD the Buddhist monks brought the ginkgo to Japan. In 1691 the German Engelbert Kaempfer found the ginkgo in Japan. Kaempfer brought seeds back to Europe. The ginkgo has now been distributed all over the world again.
