	Ginkgo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ginkgo is a gymnosperm (as opposed to an angiosperm), meaning "naked seed"; its seeds are not protected by a fruit.
		Ginkgos are medium-large deciduous trees, reaching 20-35 m tall (some specimens in China being over 50 m), with an often angular crown and long, somewhat erratic branches.
		Extreme examples of the Ginkgo's tenacity may be seen in Hiroshima, Japan, where four trees growing between 1-2 km from the 1945 atom bomb explosion were among the few living things in the area to survive the blast (photos and details).
