A literati using an unusual variety--Trumpet-Leaf Gingko. Enjoy!
No sooner than I posted the image above than I began changing stuff. For one thing, I'm currently afflicted with the klutzes now and then, and in repotting or in moving the tree from outside to inside I broke off the top falling branch. I decided I liked the tree better that way. Second, I repotted the Gingko using a somewhat smaller drum pot that had unusual depth.Trumpet-Leaf Gingko 5-20-21 single.jpg
This is my literati Trumpet-Leaf Gingko as it now stands.

This picture is, of course, an optimized anaglyph. Use red/cyan glasses to see the 3D.

This picture shows my trumpet-leaf gingko after a summer's worth of growing. Generally, I'm pleased with its progress, but I wish it had a more radiant yellow fall color.

I can’t find my glasses. But this is a great idea.

What a good idea for ginko, which don't like to branch - at least mine doesn't. Sorry you lost a branch you liked. Would you consider, at this point, thinning out the 'fluffy top?
