...well it depends.. what you are doing to the Bonsai?

hi hi hihi hihiii

Hello randy - I'm glad you got a picture up.  You plant looks similar to Murraya paniculata, Mock Orange, but the racemose inflorescence does't match well.  I'm sure it is in the same family, the Rutaceae.  But at present that is about as close as I can get.  Do you have pictures of it in flower?  If so that would be very helpful.

It looks more like Durantha Sheenas Gold to me. Or a very unhappy Murraya ....But we need the flower to be sure.

Anyway both Murraya and Durantha are excellent bonsai material.

Love and Light

thank you guys, i'll get more data/pics. to make sure...here is the hedge please help ID again..

It looks like a popular bush here in Taiwan called a Chinese Perfume Plant or Chinese Perfume Bush, Aglaia odorata.

It is often used for bonsai and landscape trees alike here. I have a hedge using these and a bonsai I have just started training. This tree is every where in Taiwan.
Quite hardy and likes lots of water. I have one in full sun and my hedge is in partial shade. It grows very well and gets a nice full canopy.
Be careful when bending branches as they are prone to snapping. Wire and bend when green before they harden. It does seem that scares are a bit harder to heal on these guys. Despite growing well, it does not seem to thicken up very quickly and may need some time and patience.
