Mini Privets

These all came from seed drop in my garden about two and a half years ago.
I searched the streets and unless one was hiding in a back yard no parent could be found.
I do have a small narrow leaf specimen up the side but these are are all larger round style.
Defoliated 6 weeks ago and rewired at the same time after removing old wire that had been on for 4 months prior.
All were potted up as the single pictured but after defoliation I sourced a tray and went for a forest/raft/clump arrangement.
Budding has commenced so I thought i might share as a progression from now and hopefully a long future.
Moss is from East Kilmore Vic region. Fertilized as I do for every thing 'not' native..
