for my garden.

apparently ginko biloba is 270 million years old, as a species, and is one of the
oldest [note: careful what you spraff here shoe] trees / forms of life [delete as appropriate] around today.

It used to cover much of the world including britain in the jurrassic period, but then there was a massive dieoff
due to climate change and since ginko had evolved to change only very very slowly, it was unable to keep up;
and died off everywhere except a small area of modern china, where all strains of the tree come from nowadays.

also getting some fast growing hedges to give me a little privacy at last!
