ginkgo biloba

my ginkgo on a piece of wood

Very, very nice bonsai. Congrat!
Do you have the picture ginko without leaves?

thanks
yep ..i ve got these...
pictures from this winter ...just after repoting

With leaves it's decidedly better
I see first time so formed ginkgo and I like him very much. In autumn to look surely beautifully.

yes ..it is better with leaves ^^
i don t like the usual flame shape...but..like you.. i did not neither saw another gingko shaped like this one

yep..automn is wonderfull

Different...and i like it to. I always wondered why is it that we see ginkgos upright/broom or whatever the form it is. I thought the branches can not be defined enough. Very refreshing for this species i think.
That piece of wood looks perfect!

Yes, it has a nice flow to it, unusual for this species.

Yes indeed very unusual form for a Ginkgo, but very nice too. How long for you to get it in this shape?

Beautiful and unique tree.

Incredible! Such a dynamic and mature ginkgo is a rare sight.

I would love to know more about the history/development of this tree.

I have never seen a ginkgo I like. Until now........wow. A beautiful tree.

I love the shape and potting. Nice and unusual!

that is the best shaped ginko bonsai i've ever seen

the flame type broom has become the supposed correct ginko image but the one in my garden looks more like this one than a flame.

a pleasure to see thanks

Very nice ginko shape. Very inspiring.

Fantastic Shape.

Ginko for a very particular style but I like it. Very personal to you.

My compliments , Daniel

Cram, beautiful tree and very unique. I do like flame/upright (natural) style for Ginkgo, but I also like a stylized form. I have seen many photos of Ginkgo Penjing with lots of curves, like yours. I like your tree best after leaf drop where you can really see the lines of the branches. Your ramification is coming along. I wonder how long the wood container will last. IT makes a very nice presentation.

I just came back home yesterday from ABFF 2013 in Philippine. It was such an amazing exhibition as they said. Be welcomed very warmly and friendly from organisations...I had enjoyed a lot in Bonsai trees, Bonsai shows and exchanged with many Bonsai artists, Bonsai friends from many countries.
I love ABFF...Love Bonsai.

woa...thank you very much for all the flowers

todd ...i d like very much to see this pictures of twisted ginkgo in penjing

the piece of wood will die in time of course(like everything^^)
but not to fast....for example i have an elm in a wood of this kind
it is fine at last since 4 years ...and it is still ok for at least 2 or 3 more

and the fact is that i ve got these woods in the mountains around my house...so when this pot will die...i ll change it

No words! I love it!

Hi Cram,
The picture I saw of the Ginkgo similar to yours is on the front cover of Chinese Bonsai: The Art of Penjing by Ilona Lesniewicz and Li Zhimin. It is a curvy informal upright in an unglazed pot. The authors describe this tree as 65 cm tall and "formed in the traditional Yang style: a gently twisted trunk with horizontal branch-steps in the lower half, and a circular crown"
(English language edition copyright 1988)

yep..thanks....i ve found it...it s trrue ....same set

i think the trunk is far better than mine
but the shape would need to be harmonized to what the trunk deserve...imo
and it is a long long work with ginkgo

should be the same origin....i had my one by helping a pro to emtpy a big container from china 15 years ago...a complete particular's collection
the deal was to have a tree for the day of work
and i ve choose this one....
the trunk have not changed at all sinbce this time
but i ve take all this time to make the main branches
now ...ramification

Hi Cram,
How Your Ginkgo? Don't forget put pictures in autumn colours

hello rafal !
the tree is well
a little bit defoliated to let the light come in it and make new shoots
and still green ....the night are still hot this summer ....in one month maybe

thanks for the interrest  

Vey unique Ginkgo!
