Ligustrum windswept

zen

Here's a tiny little privet I lifted the other day. The pot I actually found and painted with enamels and cut feet into with a Dremel rotary tool. I have done nothing to this tree as yet, but trim off the long shoots.

I totally agree with your doing a windswept on this little tree, 1) Wont need much training 2) Only other thing i can see in it is a full cascade. the first branch seems very nice too maybe a combo cacade-windswept ?

I think I might take him out of this pot and pot him up for a year or two, to thicken the base some and get some good roots.
Other than that it just needs a little ramification,and shortening of that loooong branch tip(I'lll leave it a little too long, just to kind of super-suggest) and maybe use a shallower, longish pot.
