In autumn, when the leaves change color, one tree stands out from all the others. It stands slightly above the Abbaye de la Maigrauge and shines like a beacon in the night. It's a ginkgo tree. Ginkgo trees have lived on Earth since before the dinosaurs. The seeds of the ginkgo tree can be used in cosmetics and medicines.
By the way, did you know? In Hiroshima, a ginkgo tree stood about 800 meters from where the atomic bomb exploded. The following spring, a fresh, shy shoot grew from the old rootstock. Incredible, isn't it?
