[IBC] Privets
The darn things grows like a weed. Err, it *is* a weed
I believe that many of you on the list have done some good work with privets in bonsai. Brian Inglis seems to have some fantastic ones out in Queensland. I think Jim L. has a few wee ones as well. I'd be interested to hear feedback on cultivating it for bonsai. It is considered a pest in most of New Zealand, though the local city council folks told me that they think it an excellent form of control if I pull it out of the soil and pot it, as long as I control and limit flowering grin I think I could see making groves and forests with it. Cheap, grows fairly fast, and an endless supply. My problem, however, is to indentify which type of privet it is. I believe most privets in New Zealand are either ligustrum sinensis, or ligustrum lucidum. I'm leaning towards sinensis, but it doesn't appear to fit 100%. Oh humm, I perhaps should post a photo on the gallery Anyway, 'nough rambling.
