   🦕🦖GINKGO🌿🍂

   “The ginkgo tree is from the era of dinosaurs, but while the dinosaur has been extinguished, the modern ginkgo has not changed. After the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the ginkgo was the first tree that came up. It’s amazing.”
   -Nakanishi Kōji (中西香爾 1925-2019).

   Ichō are rather amazing trees, resilient to insects, disease, air pollution, fire and even radiation: a tree 1.1km from the epicentre of the atomic blast in Hiroshima in 1945 shocked scientists by recovering without deformations.
