New York: Sean Justice's Ginkgo Tree seeds try and it sprouted!

(excerpts from considering pictures | sean justice > open journal ) "I'm up again. Third try. Hiroshi's ginko seeds are in the dirt this week. A favorite project from this past year is Hiroshi Sunairi's Tree Project . I've documented two previous attempts at growing a seed from the hibaku trees in Hiroshima -- the trees that survived the atomic bomb. Unfortunately, both of those attempts ended badly (view those posts by clicking on the keyword "tree project"). But with Hiroshi's encouragement, I'm going for another attempt. This time I've planted ginko seeds." --- Sean Justice To read the whole post at http://seanjustice.blogspot.com/2010/06/ginko-and-hope.html (excerpts from considering pictures | sean justice > open journal ) "Wow — perhaps? — I can't believe there's a sprout already.

Northern NJ: Ya-wen Chang's Ginkgo, "George" sprouted!

Hello, I'd like you to meet George. He was planted four weeks ago, along with his two siblings. I almost gave up hope after 3 weeks or so, but then George came out to say hi earlier this week. I'll let you know how he's doing and if I end up seeing the rest of his family. :) thanks, Ya-wen ps. I received your seeds while I was living in DC, but am now in northern NJ.
