Sam, et al: I have a gingko that was originally purchased as a rooted
seedling by a member of the Northern Virginia Bonsai Club in 1982.

I second your optimism, Edmund. I have a ginkgo that I started from seed in 1991, and it is now beginning to look a little like a bonsai. Ginkgos don't heal well after pruning, so cutting back a big bonsai is harder than pruning a small one as it grows.
I think ginkgos work pretty well from seed- especially since they are pleasing to look at even as seedlings.
