Botanical experts say ginkgo:
Ginkgo biloba is a species of plant in the Ginkgo family, Ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo biloba is the only variety of ancient ginkgo plants surviving on the earth, the earliest appeared in the Carboniferous period 345 million years ago, due to the Quaternary glacier attack, most of the ginkgo plants in most areas perished, but China is vast, complex terrain, for ginkgo to provide 3 "refuges", including Zhejiang Tianmu Mountain as a representative, ginkgo can survive in China, ginkgo is endemic to China. Nowadays, other ginkgo biloba around the world are directly or indirectly introduced from China, so ginkgo is regarded as "the world's first living fossil" and "giant panda of the plant world". As early as 1999, in the first list of key protected plants released by the state, ginkgo biloba was listed as a key first-class protected plant. Ginkgo biloba is cultivated in a wide range of areas: from Shenyang in the northeast, Guangzhou in the south, 40-1000 meters above sea level in east China, southwest to Guizhou, western Yunnan (Tengchong) below 2000 meters above sea level.
Ginkgo biloba has a unique leaf shape, long lifespan, and beautiful tree shape, which can be used as a garden tree or a street tree. The leaves are tender green in spring and summer, and turn yellow in autumn, which is quite beautiful. So how do golden ginkgo biloba forms in autumn? Leaves contain three pigments chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins, plants by absorbing sunlight to obtain energy, chlorophyll can absorb most of the red light and blue-violet light, reflect green light, leaves appear green, autumn due to the decline in light, temperature decrease, chlorophyll synthesis is less than the amount of decomposition, the green of the leaves slowly recedes, carotenoids appear, carotenoids include lutein and carotene, mainly absorb blue-violet light, this pigment is relatively stable, so the green of autumn ginkgo recedes, the leaves appear yellow. Ginkgo biloba is also the most beautiful plant in autumn.
