2/2 Ginkgo biloba bonsai

 Foreword

As Ginkgo is very resistant and slow growth plant it is very covinient for growth in bonsai form in all bonsai stiles and forms. So today there are examples of bonsai trees that are more hundreds year old and not taller than 50 cm. Although bonsai originate from East throught the time it is expanded.

During past growth of bonsai forms is expanded throught the world. So we have many persons, green gardens and clubs that grow Ginkgo in miniature bonsai form. 

Although the largest growth of Ginkgo bonsai is still oriented on countries of the East (China, Japan, South Korea) there are organized growth in other World countries too.

Besides typicall species as bonsai are grown some cultivars too. The largest
production of Ginkgo comes from East from where bonsai originates.
