Description
This image displays a branch of a Garden Privet (Ligustrum vulgare) with its characteristic dark green, oval leaves and developing black berries. While the image itself is not a bonsai, this species is highly valued for bonsai cultivation due to its small leaves, dense branching, and ability to tolerate heavy pruning and back-budding.
