This strikingly colorful ginkgo with its thick, uniquely shaped and uncommonly well tapered trunk (for a ginkgo) is from facebook, courtesy of Bill Valavanis (International Bonsai). In fact, all three photos in this post are Bill’s.

Looks like a pyracantha. The well-chosen blue pot contrasts with and amplifies the bright vermilion berries.

  1. I wish more hobbiest’s would see the beauty of Ginko’s. A nicely ramified and dense Ginko in a blue hued pot in brilliant fall yellow is truly beautiful.

  2. Thanks Mike,
    Agreed. I think this one well illustrates your point about ginkgos. Finding good material isn’t always that easy though. I don’t think many bonsai growers bother with them.
