Why thank you! Obviously none of it was my doing, but hopefully the cuttings I took will one day be as nice!Cool little Gingko,nice base too.

No I’m not thinking of changing the front, I’m fairly certain the current one is best. And while the scar is on the side I feel it’s best to get it taken care of either way. I remember discussing ginkgo and healing wounds and I think we came to the conclusion they do heal, although slower than others. In any case it doesn’t hurt to try.Thinking of changing the front? Mine has a scar on the back...doesn't bother me. They don't heal large scars for the most part. But will follow your process to see if it's worth trying.
Have at it...mine doesn't bother me. It's on the backside. Keep us posted of the progress.No I’m not thinking of changing the front, I’m fairly certain the current one is best.

Well indeed they do heal! My post on trying to heal it was in May, but I believe I didn’t actually get around to rescarring and putting on cut paste until July/August. In any case since around that time here is the progress it’s made; substantial for a species thought to not heal well IMO! However it is still proportionally a very large scar that will take a long time to fully cover.Have at it...mine doesn't bother me. It's on the backside. Keep us posted of the progress.
This was purchased online from someone on the Facebook auction pages, Scott Lee. He was great to do business with. Additionally, I had another ginkgo that I had only paid $15 for from a nursery in downtown Southern Pines, if you know where that is. Called Gulleys Garden center. It was about 5-6’ tall and had great potential but for whatever reason it did not survive the chop.I’ve scanned this thread and was wondering who you bought this from. All the ginkgoes in nurseries around here are just little rooted cuttings.
AshevilleWhere are you in western N.C.?
Cool, I love Asheville. A very hipster town but nice. So is Wilmington though. Anyway probably never been to Southern Pines then. Have you visited Mr. Maple/ Mr Ginkgo nursery that’s close to you? They have all sorts of cultivars of both maple and Ginkgo including nice variegated ones. I’ve not been but would love to go. If you haven’t already I would stop by and ask if they have anything with a substantial trunk.Asheville
Yes, I have a number of their trees in my yard. However most of their stuff is rooted cuttings or grafts and not very big unless you are looking for lanscape trees. I was at Appeldorn’s nursery down near Shelby last week and got a large colorado blue spruce and hinoki but even his ginkgoes were just cuttings. No one out here has any ginkgoes of any size.Cool, I love Asheville. A very hipster town but nice. So is Wilmington though. Anyway probably never been to Southern Pines then.

Did you chop below the growth? Just curious...that...and what time of year was it chopped?This was purchased online from someone on the Facebook auction pages, Scott Lee.

With the cut paste on, I'll have to take your word for it. Though BVF says they heal as well.Well indeed they do heal!

Yes below all growth but not all buds, and I’m not sure I believe spring? The tree was weak before hence why it was on sale, must not have had enough energy for growth after the chop. I tossed the dirt and roots from it into my vegetable grow bed though and one of the roots sprouted and send out a shoot interestingly.Did you chop below the growth?

You can see it outlined in red here;With the cut paste on, I'll have to take your word for it. Though BVF says they heal as well.

The scars size would be a feat to heal even if it were a maple.Er...
Oh, yeah?
