Ginkgo Leaf - Whole - Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo biloba is a remarkable deciduous tree belonging to the Ginkgoaceae family and is considered one of the oldest surviving tree species. Originally native to China, ginkgo is now cultivated in many regions around the world. Its distinctive fan-shaped leaves have been valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries and continue to be used in a variety of traditional herbal preparations.

Ginkgo trees are exceptionally hardy and can survive for many centuries. Wild populations are now uncommon, while cultivated trees are widespread. The species is particularly notable for its resistance and longevity, with some individual trees known to live for more than a thousand years.

The leaves are generally gathered toward the end of summer or during early autumn as they begin to change color. Once dried, they can be incorporated into traditional botanical preparations. Ginkgo leaves are often described as having a mild, subtly sweet character and can be enjoyed as an herbal infusion.
