Really great video, I’ve learnt so much about ginkgos (amazing trees eh?) He tends to imprecise use of long words in situations where a more common word would not only suffice, but be preferable. It was a bit grating but I know it’s just an American thing and the message was clear through context.
Ryan, you're absolute GIFT to the community. Words can't express how much we owe to you, but the history will find them, as you *have the capacity* (wink, wink) to be one of the most influential Bonsai Artists out there. Many years to come, many trees to see - godspeed my good man!
I am one of those bonsai aficionados that has sixty or more ginkgo bonsai. Around 26 cultivars. Some make MUCH better bonsai than others. Even within cultivars, some trees seem to grow faster, shorter leaf nodes, more branching, leaf size/shape….so on and so forth. It looked like, in some cases, you were pruning to leaf buds as if they were going to become branches. In my experience this is not always so…..another challenge with ginkgo bonsai. On another subject, did you ever try to increase branching by using a calcium fertilizer nitrogen source?
@ …apical buds are almost always branch buds. Side buds, especially if they have produced leaves rarely produce branches in my trees. The ones that do look different than leaf buds. More pointed, no leaf scars.
Thanks Jeff for the info. I have 2 jade butterfly and 2 autumn gold from nursery stock, im just looking for ways to keep their size down and develop some nice close ramified branching. Im not into the heavy wiring/heavy manipulation as shown in this video. But i will watch for the difference in the buds as you describe
@ …..yes, ginkgo air layer but, in my experience, not that easily. I was successful after 5 years’ of attempts but only when the mother trees were extremely healthy and when the process was begun after the first leaves to emerge were fully expanded. In some cases only callus developed before winter hit. These I shaved off 2-4 millimeters of callus, treated with Clonex, rewrapped, and protected through the winter against freezing. The next spring roots developed from some of the callus and I was able to successfully remove the new tree and repot into straight akadama.

Thanks for this! Can I say though, that every time you pull out that box knife, I hold my breath. It is so broad and clunky. And sorry, but I did see you cut some bark where you don´t want to. There are great wood/chip carving knives which offer you much more precision and control. Thin and razor sharp. Please have a look at those, no offence.

The amount of stuff one learns from Mirai videos is INSANE!
the result at the end of the video is nothing short of amazing!
Great Ryan,very compliments!👏👏👏
Wow. Just purchased my first Ginkgo this summer. This video has been so informative. Ryan, you're the man. The American Bonsai Man. Ha.
You need to do a tick tok dance challenge of ginkgo movement 😂
Darle las gracias por activar los subtitulos. Su ginkgo es muy bonito ❤

You’re fantastic!!!!

So is there a way to tell what leaf nodes will form branches or is it just a crapshoot?

Thanks for the video and comment, can you tell me, do Ginko airlayer? If so what advice can you give

Thx for sharing
I like the idea of cutting after the next branch after the 1st cut. To make a new leader? Can you root those cuttings?
