@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. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273159910_Engelbert_Kaempfer_Genemon_Imamura_and_the_origin_of_the_name_GinkgoI; 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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelbert_Kaempfer#Siam_and_Japan
.
QUESTION? Is this trivial fact about a very hardy Japanese tree well known in Utrecht? If so, what do you know?

Since the shade paint was added a have some touchy up to do. I always see mistakes better under camera. Its so hard with a brush to get the fine detail

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...

@mngrif
Im unliiely to get into the lore. If i go beyond painting these things ill likely juat use them as generic rpg figurines, try some warhammer battles but also some d&d stuff.Warhammer looks appealing because it appears to be a mix of chess and rpg. All i usually care about are game mechanics. If i wanted lore if just read a good book

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.

Well you cant really begin to understand QM without learning math first, otherwise its just magic. Are you willing to learn math as you go? -
