AUTUMN 2007 :

New shoots are appearing everywhere 
on the sumo-trunk. Wiring is difficult,
I will have to use guy wires to pull the
branches down.

April  2006

I gradually downsized it to about 50cm.
Next year, all the big branches will 
be removed and new branches will 
(hopefully)emerge.

March 2005
 
This was a 4meter high ligustrum tree
in my backyard. I have cut it down to 
about 1meter and put it into a big 
blue bonsai pot. Now the creation of 
a sumo privet bonsai tree can begin.
