I have used privet to test my bonsai knowledge over the years, and although not the best tree/bush for presentation, it has many attributes that make it a good species for learners; it grows like nuts (it's classified as a weed), roots like mad and puts out alot of growth for you to play with. Hardy, and springs bad furiously in springtime, usually holding a significant number of leaves through the winter. Best of all if you live in more humid areas, or namely the southeast US - it's likely in your back yard or along your fence line... :)
I'm working on alot of other species too, but my larger and more interesting privet are all up for pot moves right now, so they get some air time.. :)
Even though this is currently a 'side' I think this will become it's front next re-potting or pot change it has.
This is a pot that I made from one of my pot creation sessions a few years ago. I dig the crackle pops in the glaze that was used. (I have it around here somewhere)
