Genus
The genus Ginkgo has a single species represented by a tall deciduous, broad leaved tree that has survived from prehistoric times. Ginkgo is uniquely different from other conifers in many ways, it occupies its own family, Ginkgoacea and its own order, the Ginkgoales.
This ancient tree flourished with the dinosaurs about 180-200 million years ago. For a long time Ginkgo was considered to be extinct but has since been found growing in the wild in China. Their fan shaped leaves change from green to a golden yellow in the autumn.
