Ginkgo biloba
When I was studying my herbal medicine degree in London, I used to walk through Highgate Park every morning. I would stop at a tree with fairy-wing leaves and wonder what it could be.
Meanwhile at uni I was learning about the wonders of the ginkgo tree, wondering if I would ever meet one. It took me a while to marry up that they were one and the same.
Another name is maidenhair tree, but I’ll always think of it as fair-wing tree!
