Ginkgo biloba description
The ginkgo biloba is a tree that can measure up to 35 meters in height and it can live in some environments four thousand years. They come in either a female tree or a male tree. Young, the ginkgo has a smooth bark then over time, it ends up cracking, even cracking, its color varies from brown to gray. The leaves consist of two lobes having a palm-like appearance without any central veins, they are deciduous and cluster in threes or also four on the twigs and are up to 15 cm long. The flowers (male) are called catkins are very small in size and gather in sparsely colored inflorescences. They bloom in spring.
