Great, now I want a ginko. Anyone got $7,500 I can borrow?

It's terribly ugly and I think I'm in love.

Haha, that's the way of things sometimes.

According to the text in the first link, they're estimating the age of that one at 100 years, but I'm having trouble telling whether they're talking about the tree or the pot that it's in. . . . Give me a couple more years with Rosetta Stone. lol

Edit: Disregard. I'm pretty sure they're talking about the pot.

.....how does it not tip over?!

I think this is a 'Tschi Tschi' ginkgo. I've never seen anyone use this cultivar before but it sure is a show-stopper!

Yes, Chichi Icho. Very slow grower and the pinnicle of gingko.

Chichi in Japanese is boobies also. Funny it is the same in about ten different languages.

Those chichi's are very well developed and 100 years would be about right for a plant like that.
