Ginkgo and Arucaria for beating out almost all the others in the game of survival lol

I guess Nypa & Acrocomia are cool too

    Had a Gingko tree outside my childhood home up in Washington. We were right down the highway from Ginkgo Petrified Forest too. It was wild knowing a tree like the one at home stood just down the road ~ 16 MYA. Yeah, there aren't a lot of gingkos in that park, and there's plenty of other trees that have the same circumstance, but that gingko was special to me.
