This rapid-growing tree can have a lifespan as long as 1,000 years. It is the only living gymnosperm (which includes pines, firs, and spruces) that sheds its leaves during the fall. They turn bright yellow in autumn. The fruits are plum like, about 1", and are orange-yellow when ripe. In the United States, these deciduous trees are used for herbal supplements. Ginkgo biloba are sold as memory-boosters and "longevity" pills. Today the tree is often planted in cities because of its remarkable resistance to urban smog and to insect pest.
