Description
The ginkgo is the oldest surviving species of tree known to exist. The ginkgo biloba (also known as the maidenhair tree) is native only to China. Due to its medicinal and nutritional qualities, the tree was cultivated early in human history. The flavorful nut-like meat inside the seeds are esteemed in Asian cuisine. Widely depicted in Chinese literature and art, the ginkgo tree has served as a symbol of hope and peace. Chinese monks introduced the tree to Japan, where it often adorns temple landscapes and tea gardens. “Bird in Gingko Tree” is a hand-painted digital painting created in Spadecaller's Florida Studio.
