Hanging around for two hundred seventy years apparently has imparted strong 
survival power to the Ginkgo.

In _The Simbley Guide to Trees_, the author says:  "Four Ginkgo trees 
[situated] about a mile from the 1945 atomic blast at Hiroshima, Japan were 
among the very few things that survived, and [they] soon regained their full 
health."
