Geocache Description:




Here is the view from the cache! :)

This cache is one in a series dedicated to amazing & unusual organisms. I am astounded by the amazing diversity of plant and animal life that exists in this world. But the real fascination lies with those organisms that are amazing, unusual and odd.

These organisms have capabilities that we do not share and can barely imagine: extraordinary navigational methods, abilities to regenerate lost limbs, live symbiotically with light-producing bacteria, reproduce asexually, survive in suspended animation, change shape and color at will and much more!

Ginkgo Tree (Ginkgo Biloba)

This unique tree is considered dioecious, with separate sexes, some trees being female and others being male. Male plants produce small pollen cones. Female plants do not produce cones.

Ginkgos are medium-large trees, normally reaching a height of 66-115 feet, with some specimens in China being over 164 feet tall. The leaves are unique among seed plants, being fan-shaped with veins radiating out into the leaf blade.

Enjoy the hike! FTF PRIZE: Dollar Store gift card. :)
