The Ginkgo of Otterstadt: An exotic tree with history!
Otterstadt, Deutschland - A ginkgo tree that breathes history! "The most beautiful tree in the narrow Behl in Otterstadt" - so she proudly describes her ginkgo, which has grown in her front yard for over 30 years. This magnificent tree, which is blessed this year with countless fruits, has an exotic origin and is part of the Rheinpfalz-Garten Olympiad.
"My Ginkgo", as Maass lovingly calls him, originally comes from China and found its way to Europe in 1730. The Otterstadterin remembers the small flower pot, which she brought from Weimar more than three decades ago. "Today he is a proud huge tree," she enthuses. The ginkgo is not only a botanical miracle, but also a symbol of resistance - it is said that it is the only tree that survived Hiroshima. Every year when the sun shines and the leaves shine in bright yellow, this fulfills Maass with awe and joy.
Garden Olympics: A superlative competition
The Rheinpfalz garden Olympiad, which takes place for the tenth time this year, distinguishes the best fruit, vegetable and plant species in different categories such as "superlative", "exotic" and "curious". A jury from chairman of the horticultural associations decides on the winners. The competition promises exciting insights into the variety of garden art and ends with this episode.
