I don't know the variety, but I bought this ginko as a 6" cutting from a club sale about 5 years ago. I should probably put it in a bigger pot, but I'm in no hurry with this one. It's just cool to have a ginko on my bench. They're so unique.

Not bad considering the heat and drought we had (over 35°C). Now back to normal for a month of July here, today 26°C and we even had some rain yesterday !

Received a 1-year old Munchkin graft today.
Do I just slip-pot this in a bigger pot and leave it outside?

My biggest thing is...acclimating. What state did it come from? I might stick the pot into a larger pot like we do small pots. I don't know about slip potting. As it's something I just refuse to do. When I pull a tree from a pot...I'm doing root work. I don't like the ideal of two different mediums in one pot when ones slip pot.
*Now...that is just me. Others may be more understanding of the process. I just can't wrap my head around it. So I refuse to do it.
Heading into winter...best of luck to you.

It's from Washington State, and I'm in New York. I don't know if it's just in a shipping pot, so I figured it might not be a big deal to just put the whole thing into a bigger pot for the winter, without doing any root work.

Again...maybe another will step up to say. I personally would just pot it into another pot leaving it untouched and do a proper repot when the buds swell. It's in organic soil. So how well it holds together is my only concern. Again...I'm anti slip pots. Maybe another will respond.
But if not...create a separate thread asking. This could get lost here.

She's a lumpy one for sure, it was a impulse buy. I was think about getting it and my missus bought it while I was thinking and said I knew you would regret it if it didn't come home with us. Lol

Nice. Tell us more about its history. Was it sprouted from a seed in 2006? Spend any time in the ground or always in pots? Feeding? Soil?My longest running tree (2006) after multiple moves across the west. Pretty slow grower, but it’s getting there

Slow grower...what is the cultivar. Some...are slower. That said...for ginkgo to develop branching ideal PH levels need to be 6.5-7 to build branching.My longest running tree (2006) after multiple moves across the west. Pretty slow grower, but it’s getting there

And a dormant video showing ramification. My PH is a 7. Ryan Neil did a podcast on the PH levels needed for ginkgo. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzOiIrWLkib/?igshid=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ==
I acquired this ginkgo over the summer and did a first styling last week. Removed quite a few big and many smaller branches, cut older stubs diagonally and did some wiring. For now I will keep the lower branch in front, in case I end up using the other side as the front. I'm very pleased with how it is turning out, I especially like the overhanging chi chi's on the right side.

That over hanging chi-chi is a charmer indeed! Very
