Ligustrum #011 : Mame progression from a root

Here is a little progression of a mame privet bonsai that was originally a root. Its still in progress.

Mame is a size classification for bonsai. More here or here.

This was originally a root from a Ligustrum Sinense [ Privet ] that I saved during a root pruning session on a ligustrum back in June 2012.
The root has an interesting shape to it.
I place the root in a pot and let some section poking out.
It eventually sprouted new growth and between july 2012 and march 2013, I've got roughly three growth cycles.

I'm not trying to get any thick trunk or anything old looking.
Just testing out ramifications techniques and having some fun.

I'll let the rest of the pictures speak for themselves.

Next steps:

  • Further refine the ramification. This should generate smaller leaves in return.
  • Re-pot in a smaller pot.
