I have many books that address techniques to follow when developing trees

gingko stump into the older "flame" style for lack of a better description.
Is anyone aware of any books that address this style development?

Hi Randi,
You REALLY need to put your questions in a New Post, or at least alter the
subject line, I marked this 'as read' without really reading it, but then as
I glanced up at it to my surprise is wasn't about Star Chat.

The style your asking about is really done because it is the natural way
ginkgo want to grow, and they don't manipulate well into other forms.
Because of that most of the books I've seen only discuss the style briefly
rather than go into an in depth 'how to'. I can find no direct instructions
on this in my admittedly small library. Hope someone else can guide you.
