Updated March 2015. During the Winter of 2014-2015, after the first heavy frosts began to remove the leaves from the tree, the Privet was fully defoliated and rephotographed. With the tree laid bare, the trunks and the entire branch structure could be examined and adjusted with pruning and wiring.
The Privet clump-bonsai as seen from the front. Ramification of the branches has greatly increased in just a few short years thanks to a regime of heavy feeding, pruning and defoliation.
Detail of the crown of the main trunks on the right, and the smaller trunks on the left.
Seen from lower-down, the trunks and crown begins to look quite imposing.
