Gingko Biloba

One of my favorite trees. The name is fun to say and it is so pretty! This is a female tree. The males do not bear seeds.

Check out the Wikipedia entry, (Ginkgo Biloba)  it features a beautiful picture of the ginkgo's leaves.

This leaf from a tree in the East,
Has been given to my garden.
It reveals a certain secret,
Which pleases me and thoughtful people.
Is it a living being,
Which has separated in itself?
Or are these two, who chose
To be recognized as one?
Answering this kind of question,
Haven't I found the proper meaning,
Don't you feel in my songs,
That I'm one and double?
