That was my first guess too Ginko tree.. And its absolutely a special tree, alledgedly the evolutionary step between Deciduous trees and Pines (Conifer family).
Correct, it is a beautiful and iconic tree that lives in a large public garden amongst a stunning collection of 200 + year old trees.
Oh and it lives alongside the oldest heated glasshouse in the U.K. the tallest canary palm and it has even listened to the Beatles who played live in the garden!
