Bonsai baby gingko? (pic)

Hi

This is my pet gingko. I don't have the space for a 'real' gingko tree, so this one is potted. I don't suppose it will grow very fast.

Trouble is, the poor thing suffered some neglect last summer, by sitting out in the hot sun until it dropped its leaves. It rallied a bit by sending up a new shoot from its base.

That died over the winter (I sunk the pot into the ground to see if it would come back). But then it put out two new shoots that you see here.

Trouble is, they are barely woody and seem still very tender to be out in the winter.

Can someone advise me on how to overwinter this little guy and if this would be suitable for bonsai? Should I remove one of the stems (one of the living ones I mean)?

Any thoughts about this is much appreciated.
