What a great tree and a great thread!! I have a few from seed [apparently some Oriental markets stock seeds so one can avoid the stinky part of the process] and some I dug up from under trees at Lewis and Clark. When you were annual chopping, was the chop above buds or just a whack?
Just whacking it back. They bud back easily. Developing branching takes time, and some never develop well. Luck of the draw I guess.

Do you trim the long runners in the next few weeks? I can see a couple in the 11 and 1 o'clock positions. Ginkgo tends to have a few long runners while the rest are just leaves.
I had just trimmed a few before taking this photo. I left a couple long because I want to allow the left trunk to get a bit taller.
