Ginko biloba

Some of you may recall that last year I was worried about my Ginko tree.

It just wasn't thriving and was looking very sorry for itself.

Well, it must like cold winters because it has made a miraculous recovery and is looking really well.

Looking good, great to get surprises like that, when you thought it was in trouble.

Clara 31 May 2010 19:43:34

Just googled it, will you get fruit on it ??

Don't remember you mentioning it last year but it is great news. It is a funny tree that will give a spurt of growth one year and not do much for the next five.

A lovely recognisable leaf, that even I know! Looks healthy.

Yes, great news, Fran.

Never heard about fruit, Clare.

Good news then, Martin. I hope it doesn't sulk for th next 5 years.

It is a great tree to have, Myrtle & Keego. Sorry about yours, Keego. Bad winter : (

Liga, I think it's an oddity that many of us want. How big is the one in Riga. i think they get fairly big!
