Because of it’s ability to survive under the harshest conditions, the ginkgo tree is associated with longevity. The Ginkgo stands for resilience, hope, peace, love, magic, timelessness, and long life. Ginkgo is also associated with duality, a symbol of the feminine and masculine sides of all living things in balance, like the yin and yang symbol. The gingko leaf carries the meaning of renewal as the tree puts on a brilliant color display every year as it sheds it’s leaves to grow new ones. The green leaves turn yellow during the fall. And as if on cue, shed all it’s leaves within a few days and sometimes within an autumn day. This is so that it can go about growing new leaves again. A beautiful symbol of transformation, beauty and renewal.
