A few days ago I was taking a few photos of a couple of my bonsai and took this photo of a tree that is growing in my yard (it might be a bonsai one day - one never knows). I thought people might like to have a guess at what species this tree is? There is no prize, just a bit of fun.

Could be many things. How about pittosporum?

Some people think its a weed, but they do make great bonsai. In fact there are one or two in the National Collection.
