I have a young Ginkgo tree that is currently about 1 metre tall. Is this too big to now be used as a bonsai? Is there a certain age other trees should be to be bonsaied? And if I turn it into a bonsai, when would be the best time to do it? Thanks for any help.|||I've been growing bonsai for quite a few years. Your ginkgo is not too big for a bonsai, but it's getting there. I would make sure that your tree is not just a straight stick like figure, but has some shape to it and lots of branches. You can always train it, but somehting smaller might be easier. There is no certain age; bonsai can be trainedat any age and anytime. It takes time for your tree to be consideredbonsai though. Here are bonsai class sizes:
Class Size
tiny
Mame Keshi-tsubu up to 2.5 cm (1 in)
Shito 2.5鈥?.5 cm (1鈥? in)
small
Shohin Gafu 13鈥?0 cm (5鈥? in)
Komono up to 18 cm (7 in)
Myabi 15鈥?5 cm (6鈥?0 in)
medium
Kifu Katade-mochi up to 40 cm (16 in)
medium to large
Chu/Chuhin 40鈥?0 cm (16鈥?4 in)
large Dai/Daiza:
Omono up to 120 cm (47 in)
Bonju over 100 cm (39 in)
