Ginkgo biloba

Native to China, tree normally reaching a height of 20–35 m (66–115 ft). A combination of resistance to disease, insect-resistant wood and the ability to form aerial roots and sprouts makes ginkgos long-lived, with some specimens claimed to be more than 2,500 years old. Ginkgos are dioecious, with separate sexes, some trees being female and others being male. Male plants produce small pollen cones. Female plants produce fruit-like seeds. (Wikipedia)
