Jim: Ginkgo (also properly spelled Gingko) is probably the most
misspelled tree name of all, except possibly Liquidambar.
The flame style (ròsoku-zukuri) of training Ginkgo is shown in
John Naka's Bonsai Techniques I on p. 134. It is described as a
"straight trunk with candle-flame outline".

What is the flame style? I searched around and couldn't find an example,
and I don't have too much time at the moment to run a thorough search.
Thanks in advance.

It is how G. b. will grow if left to its own wishes -- which is
probably best for this tree. It also could be likened to a very
narrow Broom Style with a pointy top.

Have you tried to find "gingko bonsai" on google? And please
note how to spell gingko! You should find that pictures are
fairly common if you try to find them . . . Sorry that you're so
rushed . . . but the tree isn't going anywhere. Is it?
