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.
Budding out this spring. Fortunately the main trunk is throwing new buds... for a while I though it had completely died back to the first branch.
