Why you should have a ginkgo bonsai
Ginkgo biloba is a fascinating plant. I got interested in the ancient ginkgos of my Korean hometown and set out to capture them in perfect Fall colors. I also talk about the evolution of the ginkgo, how it nearly went extinct, and how it came to be spread around the world. I also found some tiny ginkgo seedlings to add to my bonsai collection.

I'm working on a really cool ginkgo project here in Philadelphia. I'll have to share photos with you once it's ready!
This is such a well crafted video. A love letter to the Ginkgo, if you will. I am fortunate to have an old majestic ginkgo growing in my town and collected and germinated a bunch of seedlings this spring. I have about 30 seedlings that I hope to mold in various shapes in the future! Thank you for making this video.
You're lovely and hilarious. Keep growing, sir 🌱
I love this chanel, just by watching a few videos, hi from Sweden :)
beautiful video sir!
besides the ginkgo there are also various plant species that have tiny natural distributions but they are actually highly adaptable to different conditions and are planted everywhere such as the Metasequioa and Black locust
I love this video! thank you
Nice video!
I have 2 small ginkgo and i love the autumn colours. Nice video. I look forward to the next one 👍🏻
Thank you for this beautiful video! It came at the exact right time since recently, just a week ago, I developed an interest at ginkgos! The song at the end was a perfect ending for this video 👌 Congratulations for the 1K subscribers 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I have a couple of them from Japan over here in Scotland 🏴
What a brilliant video! A real treat for your 1k subscribers 😄 I really enjoyed this video and found lots of great information in it. You live in such a wonderful area in Korea. The song at thr end was great too! Take care man
Mate! Loved the video! You are a true artist. I know a guy selling off ginkos he have been growing in pots from seeds for 25 years. I think I need to go there and get some.🙂👍

Please make a video if you do! I'd be really interested to see what you get after 25 years of growing a ginkgo in a pot.
Beautiful, I might try one. Congrats on the 1K subs!!

Welcome! I will likely frustrate and annoy you from time to time, but the videos will continue to improve
are ginkgos naturally spread by birds?
Thank you for your entertaining video and song. I have been bonsai-ing ginkgos for 20 years. I have around 30. Not one of mine is a broom style. Send me your email if you want photos.

Would love to see some photos! My email address is on the About tab. Have you had any problems with branches dying back and its tendency to shoot from the base?

Ginkgos have a strong tendency to grow shoots from the base when the upper portions of the plants are stressed. It’s a survival tactic. Branch dieback? No, I have never had branch dieback. How does your branch dieback exhibit?

@@jeffdodson1675 It hasn't, my ginkgos are babies. Just something I've heard about, so I was curious about your experience.
