Found this in the bush near my backyard. Small shinny leaves and small fruits so great potensai I guess.
Any info about the species would be much appreciated.

I wish it is but from the leaves veins and fruit size, it might not be.

Re: ID for this potential yamadori
I believe it is a Pittosporum of some kind. Possibly Pittosporum undulatum or similar. If it is one of these it is a weed and spreads like crazy. Nearly impossible to kill. Leaves are pretty big on it for a bonsai.

Re: ID for this potential yamadori
Thanks for the info Josh. However, from a quick google search, Pittosporum undulatum seems to have compound leaves which is quite different from this one. I am kind of lost now but really keen to find out what it isJosh wrote:I believe it is a Pittosporum of some kind. Possibly Pittosporum undulatum or similar.

Re: ID for this potential yamadori
As a suggestion you could take a bit of it to a nursery or your Botanical Garden for a possible id.

Re: ID for this potential yamadori
Firstly, Pittosporum don't have compound leaves and are not weeds in all areas of Australia. Where I live they are a part of the natural ecosystem and in balance with the rest of the trees around them. Having said that, its not Pittosporum undulatum. Possibly another Pittosporum, or maybe something else from the Sapindaceae which doesn't narrow it down much.
It looks to me like it could be a native rainforest species, and if so a botanic garden would be the better bet to try for an identification.

Re: ID for this potential yamadori
For what it's worth, I thought of Pittosporum as soon as I saw it, too. A quick search and I couldn't find the species for you though.
