Rowan,

Matt has basically answered this, but I don't want to seem to be ignoring your question. The scions were of a small-leafed variety, the leaves without a median slit; the trunk is supposed to develop knob-like growths with age.

I'm afraid it has spoiled me for the rather big-floppy-leafed kinds that I seem to get when I germinate ginkgo seeds collected in the park. They seem gross by comparison.
