@freemo Is it possible that the oldest ginkgo tree in Europe is alive and thriving in Utrecht?
.
CONTEXT. In 1690-1692, Engelbert Kempfer worked at Japanese outpost of the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC). He was the physician for small group of European men on Dejima island in Nagasaki harbor.
.
In 1712, an account of Kempfer's time in Japan was published in Europe. Also, he published the names and botanical descriptions of 325 previously unidentified plants native to Japan. -- see Nagata, Toshiyuki dt al. (2015). " Engelbert Kaempfer, Genemon Imamura and the origin of the name Ginkgo," Taxon. 64 (10). March 2015. researchgate.net/publication/2; and see 1712 botanical illustration of the ginkgo below
.
GINKGO IN UTRECHT.
According to Wikipedia, Kempfer was "the first western scholar to describe the tree Ginkgo biloba. He brought some Ginkgo seeds back that were planted in the botanical garden in Utrecht. The trees have survived to the 21st century." -- see "Engelbert Kempfter," Siam and Japan, 2nd paragraph en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelber
.
QUESTION? Is this trivial fact about a very hardy Japanese tree well known in Utrecht? If so, what do you know?

Added some shade paint and it kinda ruined it. I'll need to retouch it. At least I learned how to use the shade paint now...

I bought myself and my friends Warhammer games, figurines, and a paint set for Sinterklaas. I always wanted to pain the figurines since i was a little kid. I am only part way through putting thr base pains on didnt even get to shadding or layerind yet. But they are already starting to look cool as hell

The guy with the sword doesnt have any paint yet.i mostly just worked on the ground which is textured.

I stopped by this old school Dutch candy store with all the candy in little jars. You know this place iasgoing to be lit because they dont even have a cash register. She must have been born prior to the 1900s cause she is literally right ninging me up on a chalk board. This is like a step away from ancient Greek wax tablets.

If you really want world peace and equality, learn Quantum Mechanics. It will challenge all your most fundemental and deep rooted prejudices.

Sometimes i forget just how damn extra i can be...

Two military helicopters just flew by, cool! Not something i expect to see often in holland

Decided to have another safari in Utrecht today. Didn't find any Dutch Snipe last time.

So... this is my first time here... Here's a picture of a cute little mantis shrimp to serve as my introduction to this social media site.
