The Living Thing of the Month: Ginkgo biloba


The Living Thing of the Month: 

Ginkgo biloba

The ginkgo is a living fossil, a tree. The most typical thing in it are its leaves, as you can see in the following photos. This tree has been used in ancient chinese medicine.
I know that, at least, there is one ginkgo in Soria, do you know where is? are you able to describe it and learn more about it?
Try to learn more about the Ginkgo, and earn some extra marks!!!
