"Ginkgo germination" is one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information.
On April 6, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory announced that "Ginkgo germination has been observed in Tokyo."
When about 20% of the leaves come out, it is considered a "germination date", and this year is one day earlier than normal and two days later than last year.
By the way, the standard ginkgo tree in Tokyo is the so-called "earthquake ginkgo" in the Otebori Ryokuchi (known as Kiyomaro Park) at the northeastern end of the Imperial Palace, which escaped being burned down from the fire caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake.
Ginkgo plants breed worldwide from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic era, fossils have been excavated, and there are many species, but ginkgo is the only surviving species native to China.
It has a unique characteristic and forms a ginkgo family in one genus.
Even when yellow leaves are even more beautiful, resistant to pests and pruning, can withstand fire heat, is long-lived, and is heavily used as a street tree.
Ginkgo on the green road at Hamacho Park entrance has also sprouted and the season has reached.
Freshness of young green shoots grown from light brown stems.
Even though it has just germinated, it has a fan shape in front of it.
Ginkgo grows fast, so it is said that seeds can become mature trees in relatively short years, and can be bred in Hikobae and branch cutting.
