For some reason this tagged as a Himalayan honeysuckle and I cannot change it πŸ˜•. However, I learnt an interesting fact about this Ginka tree from a fellow garden tagger. It is the only species in it's division still living. The rest are extinct and found only in Chinese fossils. In my mind that makes it a living dinosaur tree - how cool is that!😁
