A year ago, my Ginkgo biloba showed a stunning display of vigour, sending out leaves as big as my hand:
You may be interested to know that it seems intent on repeating this feat, although not quite to the same scale:
The further good news is that it is now starting to branch as a good Ginkgo should, so it'll look a little less like a twig in the winter.
It has been a gorgeous day and I am nicely sunburnt. More photos of the garden to follow.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the Ginkgo bilboa is growing well.
I’ve written an article titled ‘Poisonous plants found near you’ which I thought you might be interested in:

If you know of any poisonous plants that we haven’t listed here then we’d love to hear back form you.
All the best
Andrew

Hi Andrew - I've left a comment - that is a nice post. As I've said though, you may want to consider adding in Ricinus, as while it is normally quite a niche tropical annual plant grown by exotic gardeners, it is being featured a lot in summer bedding displays, especially down in London. I think brugmansias are probably still not too common, but they are violently hallucigenic!
