This male Ginkgo biloba tree, the oldest surviving ginkgo in North America, is believed to date from 1785, when William Hamilton planted two trees at his nearby estate, The Woodlands, and presented this specimen to Bartram's collection. Native to China, the ginkgo has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years for its edible nuts and medicinal properties.
