The next spring, the branches can be cut back to about 18 inches or 2 feet as well.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-31543579603932840092017-06-25T21:05:43.942-07:002017-06-25T21:05:43.942-07:00A lot of ginkgo trees that are sold in nurseries, ...A lot of ginkgo trees that are sold in nurseries, are grafted. You can see the graft. But I think they are bud grafted. YOu are right about the challenge of ginkgo wood, similar to fig or kiwi, but they can all be grafted with care and expectation that some won't take.<br /><br />I'm very excited to see this one grow. It's a foot of new growth, on a graft that I put together more than a year ago. I'm sure that means the tissues are fused together and growing as one. Plus, it lets me keep my Dad's tree in a new place.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-56143885560857311852017-06-22T10:17:07.324-07:002017-06-22T10:17:07.324-07:00I'm not aware that one can graft gingko becaus...I'm not aware that one can graft gingko because the wood is kind of spongy like cork. Nice work on such small diameter of wood to work with.lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657961543274999017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-59126792510139875922017-06-19T01:16:03.256-07:002017-06-19T01:16:03.256-07:00Hi, just read your comments/post about Black berri...Hi, just read your comments/post about Black berries you are growing. <br />I wanted to ad my experience. About five years ago I bought 5 plants from local McLendon, which I thought I was buying Blue and Rasbery. The branches of one of the five grew upward between 15-20 feet. Did some research and found out that it was Navaho thornless blackberry. In the last four years I have been blessed with getting lots and lots of very sweet large black berries, which I also share with my neighbors and relatives. I am very happy with my Mystery plant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550335088544331773noreply@blogger.com
