Ginkgo has a well-deserved reputation for being just about indestructible  - they were the only trees to survive the Hiroshima atomic bomb! With tolerance of most conditions and diseases, this makes them very long lived - one tree in China is over 1,400 years old. In fact the Ginkgo is a "fossil" - the only plant in its genus and has remained unchanged for around 200 million years!
