Materials: 10 year bonsai seed growing guide by Ry2Tree2, Ginkgo seeds

Ginkgo / Ginkgo biloba is a famous species in bonsai and landscaping due to its status as a "living fossil". In addition to having basically been unchanged as a species since the dinosaurs were eating them, ginkgos now are beloved by bonsai artists for their unique fan-shaped leaves attractive yellow fall colors, and unusually rippling bark texture that comes with age. Ginkgos are suitable for any style but are most often used for the flame/broom styles.

These seeds were sourced from a landscape tree at the Ohio State University's arboretum in Columbus, Ohio. Like all "bonsai seeds", the seeds will grow to full size if grown unrestrained in the ground and their future depends on your influence and training. To that end, I have written what I believe is the most comprehensive information package on the complete process of growing a bonsai from seed. My 10-year bonsai-from-seed guide is also freely available in part through various articles on my blog (www.Ry2Tree2.com) but the hard copy I send you is an exclusive condensed and simplified version. I hope you and others will find it a useful reference guide over the years-long process of growing your bonsai. Specifically for buyers of these seeds, I will include a printed version with the important points distilled from my longer blog articles.

Thank you for supporting my bonsai work! Happy growing :)

------------------------------------
Please note that Ginkgos grow best outdoors within USDA hardiness zones 3-8.

For best results, follow the procedure below for germination.
1. Scarification: Let stand in water for 24 hours.
2. Stratification: Cold stratify for 60 days.
3. Plant!

*During stratification, store seeds in a Ziploc bag with damp sphagnum moss. paper towels, or soil in the refrigerator.

These seeds are larger and have higher shipping expenses, hence a higher base cost than my other seeds.
