I didn't know that you can tell the sex until it matured and fruited or not. If that is below a graft, then how do you identify the shoots as female?
CW
All of the trees were started as female cuttings, faster growing and all grafts were from male buds. My teacher/ MU Woodies Professor can tell the difference in them. I don't know the difference, but I do know that the bud has to be sliced open at a certain time in the season to tell. Also I have noticed that the new whips on males are really green and females are more white.
It will take 20-30 years to get a fruit in a mature tree in most cases.

I'd be tempted to plant it 30° or so to the left.

Any updates on this? Going through ginkgo...I may stumble upon it if it's in another thread posting.
Thanks for pulling this up!
There are so many I have forgot about. I will have to get some pics. I have not looked at it from closer than 50' or so, but I know it's growing very well for as little roots as it had and how harshly it was treated.
Time is starting to free up a bit, so I can get back to bonsai.

@Stickroot glad to hear things are clearing up that you can relax in the hobby a bit more. Just bought a chi chi ginkgo so I'm hitting the archives pretty hard. Yours was interesting...and I was very curious at what angle you planted it and such. That it's as old as it is as a species...makes sense now it has a drive to live.

I read in my research. That when one dies off. It has stored energy like other trees get suckers. And those as a defense mechanism grows up around the dead tree. Which is why they have been around for several hundred million years. From what I read. Was pretty cool. Listened to a YouTube video of a professor talking of seeing such a natural habitat in nature of circles with a dead tree in the middle. This photo here makes me think of said comment.

New England bonsai has a female up for sale...seen yours is a female. I would think keeping it small and not a huge tree. If it did produce stinky seeds. It would be less pungent.

Might be waiting for awhile.
I told Roland earlier that I've never seen it rain this much in my lifetime and he said I'm not old enough.
If I had to go through this again I'll be dangerous!

Wow that's grown fast! But yeah it still does need a lot of development for sure. Mine was supposed to be here today, as it shipped out Monday. But nope- FedEx is the worst service and so now it will be in the box a total of five days, if they actually deliver it tomorrow that is. Waited all day for it, and they wasted my time again

Well it was delivered at TEN THIRTY last night! I get up at 3:30AM for work, so Needless to say I was in bed already By then lol. It's not looking too happy, lots of yellow leaves and such but I'm sure it will be fine. I'll start a thread asap.
Poor fedex delivery man, having to work so much later than normal
