Big privet

Her is a Ligustrum I bought from Graham Potter last year.
Fist a photo of the tree before any work. Graham did the deadwood work and potted it in a bonsaipot before I got the tree.
























Here it is as it is now after I have done the first shaping of the tree. It is still in early development.























The trunk diameter is a little more than 30 cm

















Hight is 80 cm

There is only a stip of dead wood in the front. The rest is alive.

why is the tree brighter?

There is a window to the left of the tree, it's just the sun shining on the trunk that makes it look brighter : -)

it's funny, at first it looks like there aren't so many branches but after it was styled it became a true masterpiece GOOD job
