The Habitat for Ginkgo Biloba Trees
The natural habitat for Ginkgo Biloba had been pointed out by Engelbert Kaempfer in 1691. In spite of being considered an extinct species the tree was found in large number near places inhabited by Buddhist monks, in China. They cultivated the tree for its numerous curing qualities. This is the initial habitat for Ginkgo biloba and this is the place from where it started to spread in Japan and Korea.
Later, the seed of Ginkgo had been brought to Europe and America. Nowadays botanists identified species in their place of origin but the number of Ginkgo decreased. The warm climate influenced in a considerable measure the existence of Ginkgo in Tian Mu Shan Reserve and other areas in Central China. Throughout long periods of monitoring, scientists understood that there are no special conditions for a place to be considered habitat for Ginkgo biloba. It can be found in all botanical gardens in temperate and subtropical climates. But China is considered its “mother country”.
Although might sound occurred, polluted places are an important habitat for Ginkgo biloba because the plant possesses a high tolerance to such places. So, besides being considered as important as a medicine, this tree contributes to keeping natural environment in great cities.
Taking in account this special capability, a group of ONG organizations in Nepal encouraged a mass plantation in 2003. So this is how the city of Kathmandu became a friendly habitat for Ginkgo biloba with its almost 300 trees from this species.
An astonishing example for understanding how easily a place could become a habitat for Ginkgo biloba is the tree which survived in Hiroshima after the World War II. After the bombing on August 6th all the plants were examined and surprisingly the Ginkgo tree bud without significant changes in its structure.
Botanists and paleontologists had tried to find the meaning of the natural habitat for Ginkgo biloba. Nowadays data establish this species as the oldest one on earth. There are no other species of tree older than Ginkgo. So the question is why did it survived only in China? How did this place become the natural habitat for Ginkgo biloba? In the past this tree inhabited most areas on the globe but, because of the violent cataclysms, it disappeared from most of the places.
Still, the Chinese ground kept its seeds. The only explanation found by scientists is the remarkable interest showed by Chinese gardeners. Interested in its great qualities, they carefully kept this precious species alive.
