砂入さま、 こんにちは。 お元気ですか？ 長らく芽がでなかったのですが、暖かくなって来たら、 ぐんぐんと成長しはじめました。 そろそろ大きめの鉢に植え替えなければと思っています。 鈴木ゆみ -------- Hi, Mr. Sunairi, Hello! How are you?

A ginkgo trees sprouts in Brooklyn One month later! I've checked it every day.. Waiting and hoping and becoming anxious until I realized a tree doesn't have the same concept of time we do. The moment I let go it sprouted. ---Alex Casso
