Why you should have a ginkgo bonsai

Ginkgo biloba is a fascinating plant. I got interested in the ancient ginkgos of my Korean hometown and set out to capture them in perfect Fall colors. I also talk about the evolution of the ginkgo, how it nearly went extinct, and how it came to be spread around the world. I also found some tiny ginkgo seedlings to add to my bonsai collection.
