Hi..
I'm a newbie to all things 名媛直播. My wife bought me a small specimen from a local garden centre and it does not posses a Latin name just generic bonsai label and price...Can any of the experts on this forum please put a name to my species so as I might care for it better.
Any help appreciated
Regards
Colin

I don't think its a Chinese Elm as the leaves don't have a serrated edge and are lighter in colour

I like much the pot. Good luck.

I think we need a better picture - but I'd say ligustrum.

Yup. I go for ligustrum too. Just found pictures that look similar, I have to remember the name better.

:cheer: Yeah sure is looking like a Ligustrum (privet var.). Thanks to all...I now know what I'm dealing with.
The pot is nice but I fear its in severe need of re-potting of which I will attempt in the comming weeks.
It is also good to know that it is essentially an outdoor variety or at least in the summer months, as I wanted something to go around my small Japanese themed pond area alongside other stone ornaments including my latest aquisition, a Geisha pictured below
So all is good,,,Thanks again
everyone...I hope to add to this starter tree collection but not rush things
