Description
This image displays a branch of Alder Buckthorn (Frangula alnus) with its characteristic simple, oval leaves and clusters of dark, mature berries. While the image itself is not a bonsai specimen, Alder Buckthorn is a suitable species for bonsai cultivation, known for its small leaves, good ramification, and attractive fruiting. A hypothetical bonsai of this species would likely feature a naturalistic, upright form.
