I am listening off and on to the Ginkgo Bioworks (DNA) conference call on video. The company was named by the CEO and founder. I got curious about the tree, since there are some trees planted on the sidewalks here in Charlotte NC. The fruit drops in the fall. It makes a mess on the sidewalks.
The tree is actually a living fossil. It was able survive fires and extreme heat and drought conditions and continued to reproduce. There have been massive extinctions to flora and fauna in the past 300 million years. The seeds and fruit are used in Asian cuisine.

Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as ginkgo or gingko (/'g??ko?, 'g??kgo?/ GINK-oh, -?goh)[5][6] also known as the maidenhair tree,[7] is a species of tree native to China. It is the last living species in the order Ginkgoales, which first appeared over 290 million years ago. Fossils very similar to the living species, belonging to the genus Ginkgo, extend back to the Middle Jurassic approximately 170 million years ago.[2] The tree was cultivated early in human history and remains commonly planted.

Ginkgo leaf extract is commonly used as a dietary supplement, but there is no scientific evidence that it supports human health or is effective against any disease.[8][9]
