Part 4 of my privet pre, pre-bonsai. It was started as a cutting 5.5yrs ago. Not much has happened over the last year, but sometimes that is what bonsai is all about.

Part 2 of a cutting that I took from a New Zealand Broadleaf hedge(also know as Griselinia) from my garden in the spring of 2019.

Not much happens, but this is a slow game for these two trees. Youtube playlist for this tree - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL35C7OqeOezIqLJEaWkMwD-0FFvQFWueJ .......
