Hi all just though id share a bit of whats been happening at my collection the past month. Been full on doing alot of winter work, primarily of which has involved a fair amount of Privet work, wiring and repotting. Where i am located my privet will go semi and in same cases almost fully deciduous, i will usually finish them off by removing the remaining leaves around the end of July.

Anyway here is a snippet of whats been happening!

Hi mate
Both are Ligustrum ovalifolium. first one is much much older than the lower and has developed a bit of crackling bark :)

The privet in the pot is looking great Hugh. The sort of thing that makes me want to go out and get one, great job mate.

Cheers,
Pearcy.

Those winter foliage shots look like they've been lifted from Mirai's instagram. Great work sensei!

Big year ahead for bonsaievolution!
