Maidenhair Tree- Interesting facts

This kind of tree is typically seen in Asian movies. According to a recent study, the maidenhair tree or most commonly known as biloba ginkgo is the most ancient tree in the world. As it has been around for so many years the use of ginkgo is a very common practice in Asian cultures for different applications. But before mentioning the different uses it can have, let's have a look at some interesting facts about this ancient tree.

1- It is believed that this tree came along more than two hundred million years ago. This means that back in the dinosaurs' era this tree already existed. However, some environmental events took place and the amount of trees was reduced to the minimum. This led scientists all over the world to think that there were no more ginkgo tree species until the discovery of a tree in Japan diluted these conclusions.

However, it is important to mention that back in the dinosaurs era there were more than fourteen species of ginkgo and nowadays there is only one. Scientists also discovered that monks in the Asian temples had been growing the tree for ages before it was revealed. Once the tree was "rediscovered", it was more common to see species in Europe and America.

Due to the presence of Vitamin P, concentrates of this tree are used to improve memory, and it is now being studied to see if the use of this extract can have any impact on Alzheimer's disease.
