    HI,
    I dug this up from a slightly larger plant and cut the top off to make a bonsai. Now i"m letting it grow out. Does anyone have any styling suggestions or tips for Ginko bonsai?
    Thanks

    Let it grow first before styling or shaping it. Encourage growth in the lower portion and prune (or defoliate) the uppermost part if you want to train it as upright or semi upright.
