No sooner than I posted the image above than I began changing stuff. For one thing, I'm currently afflicted with the klutzes now and then, and in repotting or in moving the tree from outside to inside I broke off the top falling branch. I decided I liked the tree better that way. Second, I repotted the Gingko using a somewhat smaller drum pot that had unusual depth.
This is my literati Trumpet-Leaf Gingko as it now stands.
This picture is, of course, an optimized anaglyph. Use red/cyan glasses to see the 3D.
This picture shows my trumpet-leaf gingko after a summer's worth of growing. Generally, I'm pleased with its progress, but I wish it had a more radiant yellow fall color.
What a good idea for ginko, which don't like to branch - at least mine doesn't. Sorry you lost a branch you liked. Would you consider, at this point, thinning out the 'fluffy top?
