Ginkgo is a #PlantsAndPeople icon, and one of the reasons is surely its ancient association with sacred sites across Asia. This bond is a way it survived local extinction across its former global range and a way it thrives today. I met this old ginkgo tree in the courtyard of Yulong Temple, Yunnan.
