Green long-liver
Ginkgo biloba can rightly be called one of the planet's centenarians. This type of tree has survived from the Mesozoic era to the present day thanks to its extraordinary ability to adapt.
Ginkgo trees tolerate poisonous smog, acid rain, soils poor in organic and mineral substances. They are not afraid of bacteria, viruses, fungal diseases and insects, so ginkgo can be successfully grown as an ornamental plant in large industrial cities. For example, in Nagasaki there is a tree that is over 1200 years old.
