Gingko Illustration
Today's plant is a very popular plant in art : Gingko Biloba, commonly known as 'Maidenhair tree'. He is the last one of the Gingko tree species, which is not extinct, that's why he's actually just called 'Gingko'. In nature the tree only grows in two parts of China: in the city Chongqing and the province Guizhou in south-west China. In the 1700s he made his way from Japan to Europe, thanks to Dutch sailors. By now he is a symbol of peace and natural conservancy. Prints available!
