Hiya Jun,

sorry for not replying immediately, it's a public holiday here today. Divali [ Deepalli ] . My friend is here helping with the images I am putting up and we are fabricating my new bonsai stands. The ones I have presently are iron and handle two trees back to back. I need to shift to a narrower stand only 1 foot [ 30 cm ] or so, to force me to look at the trees as individuals. Will send an image later on today.

Ligustrum ? Flacourtia ?

I am afraid, we need Jose again. I can't tell what the first tree is, but the second we have growing wild.

I believe I just a few months ago pulled up a - Pithecellobium unguis-cati - to test, not sure. It's got a shape but very thin. I may show it to you, it is thin.
Known as cat's claw, neighbour ten houses away has a hedge - hedge means any shape possible - chuckle.

Sorry, tried to get you a mature shrub image - no such luck - this mess will have to do - hope the link works .

Okay where does the traditional part come in ?

Having fun with me again

Good stock once again. If the first were a ligustrum you could do amazing things with the canopy.
Always great and creative efforts.
Thanks.
Khaimraj

The leaves look like Ligustrum vulgare or sometimes called "Common Privet". It produces small whtie/cream blooms and has small, hard berries which are almost black. Bird love them. I believe the berries are toxic to humans.
