Well...I noticed reverse taper...I missed the graft. I am on my phone...if two say they see a low graft...then I must have over looked them. *I was shopping without my glasses that day.You can see the graft on the larger one on the right and a few of the smaller ones on the shelf. If there is a nursery tag on the plant, there is a 99% chance it's grafted these days. The only plants traditionally used in bonsai that are not typically grafted in nursery culture are junipers and azaleas.
I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I also would not want anyone to buy inferior material. One could likely layer above the graft, but that risk and time should be factored into the buying decision.
Yup - I do. 3 of them actually. 1 is a plain tree about 3 meters high - currently trying to airlayer one of its branches. Also 2 small-leaved varieties grafted to common understock - long sticks with the ball at the end. Trying to root some cuttings out of them. If they are not grafted then it's good. Also somehow missed that it was you posting it so I wrote thing you already knew better than I had. Sorry for that. Your ginkgo looks very fine.There were no grafts...I checked. I have also seen what Scott Lee has accomplished with just 2 years in the ground...something of similar material.
Who is Scott Lee? The gentleman who sold me my Ginkgo.

These could be good starter stock...knowing Ginkgo. Just saying...
Do you...own a Ginkgo @R3x?
Seems you and Stan both seen a graft. On my phone I didn't. While there I didn't notice them off hand. Though disclaimer...shopping without glasses on.Yup - I do. 3 of them actually. 1 is a plain tree about 3 meters high - currently trying to airlayer one of its branches.

We have very mature old ginkgo at a park in town. They are HUGE! Will try and remember to grab photos there. Lovely stately old trees.There is a very large/old one in my town. I've thought about asking the owner for cuttings. I'll try to get a pic next time I go by to answer the natural growth style question.
I'm not too far south of there.
