I would love to read this book, Ginkgo: The Tree That Time Forgot.
Written by Peter Crane and said to be quite inspiring. If anyone has read it, please leave a comment. Here’s the review:
Perhaps the world’s most distinctive tree, ginkgo has remained stubbornly unchanged for more than two hundred million years. A living link to the age of dinosaurs, it survived the great ice ages as a relic in China, but it earned its reprieve when people first found it useful about a thousand years ago. Today ginkgo is beloved for the elegance of its leaves, prized for its edible nuts, and revered for its longevity. This engaging book tells the rich and engaging story of a tree that people saved from extinction—a story that offers hope for other botanical biographies that are still being written.
And to think, we have a specimen doing it’s best to survive in our garden!
