The Ginkgo biloba, nicknamed the “tree of forty crowns,” is one of the oldest known tree species on Earth. Present for over 270 million years, it has survived geological cataclysms and climate upheavals, thriving where many other forms of life have disappeared.

In Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the Ginkgo is a symbol of longevity, prosperity, and resilience. In autumn, its fan-shaped leaves turn to gold, evoking the beauty of change and the richness of experience. It is also associated with the cycle of life, transformation, and spiritual immortality.

Linked to the month of November, which evokes the transition between light and darkness, between the end of a cycle and inner renewal, the Ginkgo teaches quiet strength, adaptability, and fidelity to its deep essence despite the winds of change.
