What you have is the treatment chemical you used polled on the leaf and then dried, causing the problems. Ginko's can be sensitive to some chemical's. After spraying was the tree in sun?

@peacefulmind319 Yeah. I know. It's residue from the Daconil. No, It's been in shade. I washed off the Daconil best I could after a few daysof it being on the leaves.

The ginkgo is doing great.

I got another idea for a video :D

Can you please talk about keeping bonsais indoors and such :)

[wolfmeditation]

@arachtation3 I was planning on a "how to care for a bonsai" video next. I'll include your suggestion.

Cab you please do a video talking about how people cut their bonsai main trunk, putting some cut wound healing thingo,. And new branches growing from the trunk?

@arachtation3 I was looking through my trees today, and saw the perfect candidate for a trunk chop. It's the smaller skinny ginkgo tree from the "understanding ginkgo" video (on the right side of the screen). I'll have to wait until the springtime though, trunk chops and magor pruning has to be done in spring.

@arachtation3 Trunk chops are usually done with large collected specimens with foliage far away from the main trunk.

If you want to thicken the trunk on one of your bonsai, I would recommend growing a sacrifice branch. Basically you let the highest branch up on the tree grow without cutting it until the trunk gets thick. You cut the rest of the branches like you normally would for the style.

@arachtation3 Unfortunately I can't, because I don't have a bonsai that needs a trunk chop. My juniper is cascade, with an already thick trunk. My redwood was purchased with an already chopped trunk and regrown apex, My ginkgo cannot be trunk choped based on it's growth patterns, and the Larches will remain the same size.
