Bonsai Tree History And Care:
Ligustrum is a genus of about 50 species of deciduous, semi-evergreen, or evergreen shrubs and trees found in woodland and thickets in Europe, north Africa, the Himalayas, Asia and Australia. They bear opposite, variably shaped, often glossy leaves. In summer they carry panicles of small, unpleasantly scented white flowers followed by small round fruit. Many species of Ligustrum are used for hedging and this can provide an excellent source of material for bonsai. Ligustrum make good material for beginners as they are very forgiving and virtually indestructible.

There are many species of Privet that have good potential for bonsai but it is the following three species that are commonly used; `there are also many varieties of the following species available at nurseries and garden centres which carry differing coloured leaves; try to avoid using variegated leaves as these rarely look good when styled as bonsai`
