love this ginkgo...Yes, you'll see a few mutant big ones. Mine seem to grow some big branches with big leaves and big internodes, and smaller branches with smaller leaves and internodes.

Your avatar. Is that a doobie on the end of a green toothpick .... the last toke?That one gives me a feeling.
Hell yeah!

Oh wow, Man! Far out! What a rush! I can dig it!No reason not to post this again!
I call it. Your ash is grass!
Just a lucky shot, or two!

You seem to have succeeded in reducing the size of the Gingko leaves, where I (and Colin Fraser) have failed.Here is a pic of my Ginkgo. Just starting to get a hint of golden autumnal color.

Lovely tree BTW. Though tall and lean, it manages to avoid the stick-in-pot look that so many of these have. Congrats on your acquisition.Yay!
The Gingko arrived this morning and I could not be happier
Looks even better in person when I got it on the grow bench.
Why did you chop it so low? Couldn't you have trained one of those branches above the cut in an up-right "leader" position instead ...... or do you have another plan in mind?In my case, no branches = no ramification = no leaf reduction. No real mystery there.
Edit: here's what it looked like less than a month ago:

Colin, keep us posted on the progress of this one. I have found that Ginkgo tend to not callus over / heal like maples and other species do and haven't made as aggressive a chop as you have....yet.In my case, no branches = no ramification = no leaf reduction. No real mystery there.

I have read the same thing and was curious to find out for myself. If you look at the chop photo again, you can see where a large sucker/branch was removed near the base. Look closely, and you can clearly see callus tissue rolling over . . . so perhaps there's a chance.Colin, keep us posted on the progress of this one.
