Regards to Matt and ripsgreentree who both like me fight the corner for the much underated privet genre.
This little beauty is only one year in training . lifted off the backyard hedge last september and planted in a garden bed,it then got potted up in the spring (large plastic nursery pot)and duely wired,i have now slipped it into its present pot ready to keep pinching out and reducing leaf size. It measures only 20 cm or 8 inches in its pot,(a candidate for shohin?)
I know it has a long way to go yet but i ask you what other species gives you so much so quick >
(realy i like conifers and pines ) wink wink ,,!!!!!!!
