About this listen

The Ginkgo biloba is one of Earth’s oldest surviving tree species, often called a living fossil for its near-unchanged existence over hundreds of millions of years. Known for its fan-shaped leaves and extreme resilience, it thrives in harsh urban and environmental conditions.

Used for centuries in traditional medicine, Ginkgo is valued for its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, commonly associated with improved circulation and memory. At the same time, modern research highlights the need for caution due to drug interactions and the toxicity of its raw seeds.

Blending ancient biology with modern science, Ginkgo remains a powerful example of how prehistoric life continues to shape health, culture, and urban landscapes today.
