Question: 1 / 400

What is the common name of the tree scientifically recognized as Ginkgo biloba?

Japanese Cedar

Ginkgo

The scientific name Ginkgo biloba corresponds to the common name Ginkgo. This tree is well-known for its unique fan-shaped leaves and its remarkable resilience, able to thrive in various environments, from urban settings to historical landscapes. The Ginkgo tree is often regarded as a "living fossil," as it has been around for over 200 million years and is one of the oldest tree species still in existence.

Its distinct characteristics and historical significance contribute to its common name being widely recognized and used in both horticultural contexts and general conversation, making Ginkgo the correct answer. Other options do not correspond to Ginkgo biloba; for instance, Japanese Cedar pertains to a different tree species, and Arizona Cypress is another unrelated type of conifer, while Ash refers primarily to a different family of trees altogether.
