While I was at work 2 days ago I had a gentleman come to me asking about fast growing shade trees. We got into a conversation about a ginkgo he had planted 4 years ago that he knew was slow growing, but wasn't expecting it to be as slow as it was. He told me he was tearing it out and replacing it with the tree he had chosen, so naturally I offered to buy it from him. Well he was a cool guy and said i could come over and take it for no charge. Since he was so generous I went ahead and planted his new tree for him.
Now to the tree. It was about 8ft tall when I got it and I chopped it to around 30", the trunk is about 1.5" and has decent fissuring bark begging on it. I went ahead and wired up a new leader. I'll leave it be for a year and see how I like it's height then, I definitely tend to like taller, more slender trunked trees but am debating chopping it way low or leaving as is.
Let me know what you nuts think, thanks.

P.S. I love working at a nursery, there's so many opportunities.
