$The ginger tree is a unique and ancient tree species that has been around for over two hundred million years, sometimes called the living fossil. IT is known for its beautiful fan shape leaves, which turned bright yellow in the fall. It's also famous for its resilience and ability to survive in harsh conditions, making IT a symbol, strength and entrance. The ginger tree produces small plum like fruits in the fall, which have a strong smell but contain a nut like seed inside. Though the outer part of the fruit can be messy and smelly, the seeds are appreciated in asian cultures.
