Budding out after transplanting. It is extremely rare to see a ginkgo with any sort of movement in the trunk. While the movement is pretty monotonous and artificial looking, this tree is cool just because it is unusual. Definitely more of a penjing feel to this one.

Ginkgo biloba, as purchased. Again, showing obvious signs of stress. You can clearly see the pure garden soil these trees are potted in.
Lastly, the Japanese maple as purchased, clearly extremely weak, already having lost most of the branches. Very, very root bound.
