standing and applauding*
Love it.

Well cheers and applause from here very nice Bodi

Thanks so much people. As you can tell i am quite chuffed.

PS: I am more amazed it has taken you 20yrs to get into mini's, its where I started

Thanks Matty, i was never interested but my interest is peaked now.

love it, and whats wrong with privet anyway. I think they are a great species for bonsai

Gotta agree with you Steve. i think they can make impressive trees myself.

I want a progression PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ

Of course xto.

when are you getting here PM.

P.M sent Pup

. If my experience of killing minis has taught me anything it is: tough weeds are good!

Aint that the truth

I like the pot too, but independantly from the little tree. It's too deep.

but I think the pot too big

but, i like the pot

very nice mate. great little tree

Never apologise for a privet.
They are just great for bonsai: they are a good training tree for the novice and they test the commitment and sustainable patience of the more experienced, especially in spring.
Love Ligustrum!!!

Tell that to some people on here Toohey, speaking of Moj, i wonder where he is.

How long have you been working this little one?

i really cant remember Ryan. It seems as if i always had it and have been cutting of sacrifices for that long. Its gotta be 15 years at least.

Awesome little thing
Lovely presentation too

Thanks FMG..that reminds me, i have some large figs.

Thanks Dario and we will see what the future brings but i am liking them more and more.

Just a reminder on Minis.

Grow pot, then show pot. We are allowed some leeway in depth and length, but not to over the top.

Cheers Pup

[Steven]

Lovely little tree and great presentation too
Thanks for sharing!

Regards,
Steven

I think it's awesome!

So what's with privet? Is it like catching a catfish when fishing - i.e. you loose points for it?

Any updated pics? I'm very keen to start a lil one like this, maybe using a Japanese buxus or a murraya pan.

Hi there,
That is a very nice looking little tree in a lovely pot. I have just read that the Privet is a good tree for the novice, that would be me could be my next purchase.

Cheers
