Our ginkgo has survived an accidental snapping a few years ago (check the base where you can see where it broke) and has recovered nicely. I'd love to see it grow really, really big!
Lincoln is a big cat originally from the mean streets of Chicago now living in the idyllic burbs of Iowa. He blogs about life in general - focusing on the little ankle biters who generally leave him alone and don't pull his tail or whiskers.

My favorite tree
We've got over twenty trees in our yard (yes, I've counted), and I love all of them for the shade and beauty they provide, not so much the piles and piles of leaves they produce in the fall. The first owner of our house told Matt that he made a point of planting all native Iowa trees in our yard. Well, the last owner planted a ginkgo tree, which is native to China. It is my favorite tree because I love the distinctive fan-like leaves.
